Simple tandem repeat polymorphisms in the neuronal nitric oxide synthase gene in different ethnic populations.
Allelic frequencies of a CA dinucleotide repeat in exon 29 and an intronic AAT trinucleotide repeat in the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) gene were determined by simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) in 305 American-Caucasian and 105 African-American healthy subjects. There were highly significant differences in allele frequencies between the two ethnically diverse study populations.
