Abstract
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to analyze the association of eNOS polymorphisms with risk of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD). MethodsThe study comprised of 45 LCPD patients and 55 controls. The eNOS polymorphisms were genotyped with PCR and by PCR-RFLP. ResultsThe eNOS 894G > T and −786T > C polymorphisms were significantly associated with an increased risk of LCPD. However, there was no significant association between eNOS 27-bp VNTR polymorphism and LCPD risk. ConclusionOur results suggest that the eNOS 894G > T and −786T > C polymorphisms may be a risk factor for LCPD in Iranian children, but not 27-bp VNTR polymorphism.
