Summary
Background: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and endothelial nitric oxide (NO) affect the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Previous epidemiologic data suggested that genetic factors are more likely to affect young rather than old people. Our objective was to investigate the association between the polymorphisms of eNOS (Glu298Asp) and the RAS genes and premature CAD in a Turkish population.
