Despite the lack of association between different genotypes and the presence of prostate cancer, endothelial nitric oxide Synthase a/b (eNOS4a/b) polymorphism may be associated with advanced clinical stage and bone metastasis

Abstract Objectives To investigate the relationship between the distribution of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS4a/b) gene polymorphism and clinical features of prostate cancer (PCa). Methods and materials One hundred thirty-two patients with PCa (mean age 64.10 ± 7.23 years) and 158 healthy controls (...
