In this article, we present data on endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase () gene T786C and G894T polymorphisms in Greek steady-state Sickle Cell Disease patients in comparison to healthy controls. Moreover, mRNA levels were determined in peripheral blood samples from 18 patients and 9 controls. This article complements our recently published article named "Prognostic value of T786C and G894T polymorphisms in Sickle Cell Disease" (I. Armenis, V. Kalotychou, R. Tzanetea, Z. Kontogeorgiou, D. Anastasopoulou, M. Mantzourani, M. Samarkos, K. Pantos, K. Konstantopoulos, I. Rombos, 2016) [1].

Background: We performed the present study to better elucidate the correlation of nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) gene polymorphism with the risk of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Material/methods: According to the designed search strategy, a systematic literature search was performed through the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and Wan Fang databases to collect published case-control studies on the correlation between NOS3 gene polymorphism and PAH. The search deadline was December 26, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the link between specific gene variations (eNOS T786C, G894T, and intron 4 VNTR) and the occurrence and progression of prostate cancer among 88 patients and 91 healthy individuals.
- Results showed that certain genotypes, like CC in the T786C and TT in the G894T variations, were significantly more common in prostate cancer patients, indicating a potential genetic risk factor.
- The research also identified specific haplotypes associated with prostate cancer and healthy controls, suggesting that these gene variations might play a role in prostate cancer development.

Background: Cardiovascular disease induces erectile dysfunction modulated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase enzyme and an impaired ejection fraction that restricts penis vascular congestion. However, the mechanisms regulating endothelial dysfunction are not understood.
Objectives: Exploring the functional impact of endothelial nitric oxide synthase genetic polymorphisms on erectile dysfunction and drug therapy optimization in high-risk cardiovascular disease patients.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how variations in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene may increase the likelihood of coronary heart disease (CHD) among young South Indians, focusing on specific genetic polymorphisms G-894T and T-786C.
- - Conducted from January to May 2022 with 91 CHD patients and 91 controls, the research involved blood sample analysis for nitric oxide levels and genetic testing using PCR and RFLP methods.
- - Results indicated significantly lower nitric oxide levels in CHD patients compared to controls, suggesting that the T-786C and G-894T gene polymorphisms are linked with an increased risk of CHD.
Genetic Polymorphisms of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Associated with Hypertension and Blood Homocysteine Levels.

Article Synopsis
- Endothelial dysfunction is a major factor in hypertension, linked to eNOS impairment and high homocysteine levels, with specific genetic variations in eNOS associated with hypertension risk in Asian populations.
- The study involved 370 Thai men aged 40-60, analyzing genetic variants and blood parameters, finding that individuals with higher homocysteine levels had significantly elevated blood pressure.
- The research indicated that certain genetic variants (rs1799983 and rs2070744) also increase hypertension risk when combined with high homocysteine, suggesting these variants could inform hypertension management strategies.
