The analysis results indicated that NOS1 exon18 polymorphism was associated with developing PD in 4 genetic models (allelic: OR = 1.25, 95%CI 1.09–1.44, P = 0.001; homozygous: OR = 1.79, 95%CI 1.32–2.45, P < 0.001; recessive: OR = 1.70, 95%CI 1.26–2.28, P < 0.001; dominant: OR = 1.22, 95%CI 1.02–1.46, P = 0.03), whereas exon29 polymorphism was not correlated to PD susceptibility. This evidence concerns the gene NOS1 and Parkinson disease.
