Distribution of VNTR of eNOS genotypes and allelic frequency of the study population.
| Study group | VNTR genotype |
Allelic frequency |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N = 100 | 4b/b | 4b/a | 4a/a | Total | b | a | Total |
| Patients | 63 | 26 | 11 | 100 | 152 (0.76) | 48 (0.24) | 200 |
| Control | 72 | 20 | 8 | 100 | 164 (0.82) | 36 (0.18) | 200 |
χ2 = 1.33(2df), p = 0.24 for genotype; χ2 = 3.26 (1df), p = 0.057 for allelic frequency.
Odds ratio for b/a genotype, a/a genotype and a allele are 0.83 (95% CI; 0.6–1.13), 0.81 (95% CI; 0.53–1.23), and 0.62 (95% CI; 0.62–0.99) respectively.
