Nitric oxide synthase gene diagnostic polymorphisms
First Claim
1. A method for diagnosing a genetic predisposition for a disease, condition or disorder in a subject comprising, obtaining a biological sample containing nucleic acid from said subject;
- and analyzing said nucleic acid to detect the presence or absence of a single nucleotide polymorphism in SEQ ID NO;
1 or the complement thereof, wherein said single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with a genetic predisposition for a disease selected from the group consisting of hypertension, end stage renal disease due to hypertension, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and end stage renal disease due to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for determining a genetic predisposition to hypertension, end stage renal disease due to hypertension, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, end stage renal disease due to non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, breast cancer, lung cancer or prostate cancer by detecting the presence or absence of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the nitric oxide synthase gene. Also disclosed are kits for detecting the presence or absence of the single nucleotide polymorphisms, methods for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases, conditions, or disorders associated with the single nucleotide polymorphisms.
