Background: The G894T (rs1799983) polymorphism in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS/NOS3) gene has been implicated in susceptibility to essential hypertension (EH) in some studies, but no clear consensus has been reached in the Chinese population.Aims: This study aimed to investigate the association of the G894T polymorphism and EH in Han Chinese.Subjects and methods: First, a case-control study was performed involving 1525 subjects in northern Han Chinese to study the association between G894T variants and EH and then a meta-analysis was conducted of all available studies in Han Chinese. A total of 25 studies comprising 13 443 subjects were finally included in this meta-analysis. Results: The present case-control study failed to show significant association of G894T variant with EH in northern Han Chinese. The subsequent meta-analysis showed that this polymorphism might be associated with EH in Han Chinese (p
