[Genotype-phenotype characteristics of biochemical markers of endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic mercury intoxication].
The paper presents data on the frequency of polymorphisms of candidate genes involved in the formation of endothelial dysfunction--endothelin-1 (EDN1 Lys198Asn) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3 T786C) together with the concentrations of their active products (nitric oxide, endothelin-1) in individuals with chronic mercury intoxication. The concentration change of nitric oxide and endothelin-1 indicates the presence of endothelial dysfunction in the individuals examined. The studied polymorphisms appeared to play a minor role in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction in patients with chronic mercury intoxication.
