MOLECULAR-GENETIC TYPING OF VNTR POLYMORPHISM eNOS GENE IN HUMAN POPULATION OF TUZLA CANTON

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the results of the VNTR gene polymorphism genetic variants molecular typing for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in human population of Tuzla Canton. Based on the analysis of the distribution of eNOS gene genotypes in the total sample of respondents, the highest frequency was recorded for the (b/b) genotype, which was 73.0%. For the heterozygous (a/b) genotype of the eNOS gene, a frequency of 24.0% was determined, and a frequency of 3.0% was recorded for the (a/a) genotype. The research resulted in a database of local and global significance, namely, the incorporation of these data into the existing regional and European genetic database.
