Abstract
Background:
nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and it regulates endothelial function. The presence of
might further complicate endothelial dysfunction and nephropathy through reduced production of NO.
This study
polymorphisms on the risk of diabetic nephr
Patients and Methods:
healthy subjects serving as a control group. All candidates were genotyped

Conclusion:
4a or 894T allele, the risk of developing DN increased significantly. However, the presence of both
alleles together was
