Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a wide range of processes, and abnormal NO production mediated diabetes complications, including diabetic nephropathy (DN). In view of their impact on eNOS activity, polymorphisms in eNOS gene were described as candidates for atherosclerosis and DN. Aims: We evaluated the association of -786T>C (promoter region), Glu298Asp (Exon 7), and 4b4a (Intron 4) polymorphisms in eNOS gene with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and DN by haplotype analysis. Subjects and Methods: Study subjects comprised 515 DN patients, 402 normoalbuminuric [diabetes with no nephropathy (DWN)] T2DM patients, and 748 healthy subjects. -786T>C and Glu298Asp genotyping were done by PCR-RFLP analysis. Results: Higher prevalence of mutant Asp298, 4a, and -786C alleles and homozygous Asp298/Asp298 and 4a/4a genotypes were seen in T2DM patients compared to healthy subjects, with increased Asp298/Asp298 seen in ON compared to DWN patients (P
