The Influence Of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (Enos) Genetic Polymorphisms On Cholesterol Blood Levels Among Type 2 Diabetic Patients On Atorvastatin Therapy.

CONCLUSION: Although no association was found between eNOS genetic polymorphisms and atorvastatin response, there was a significant association between the rs1799983 and rs61722009 genotypes and baselines levels of TC and LDL in Jordanian T2DM patients. These genetic variants affect cholesterol levels and may play a role in the susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases in T2DM patients. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.
