Abstract
The aim of this study was an assessment of association of human endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene Ban II polymorphism with the myocardial infarction in 178 patients and 136 healthy individuals. These polymorphism were studied using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Ban II restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). It was found that TT and GT genotypes and allele T were associated with myocardial infarction patients under 50 years. We did not observed this association for older myocardial infarction patients. Allele T might be used as a genetic marker in the prophylaxis of myocardial infarction among people under 50 years.
