NOS3 and atherosclerosis: Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the association between the eight SNPs located in genes related to oxidative stress, PON1 c.575A>G, MPO c.−463G>A, SOD2 c.47T>C, GCLM c.−590C>T, NOS3 c.894G>T, NOS3 c.−786T>C, CYBA c.214C>T, and CYBA c.−932A>G, and the extent of atherosclerosis, as quantified by Gensini score, which is a scientific tool for measuring the amount of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries.
