Normal allele: GG
Decreases the activity of the NOS3 gene and may reduce the efficiency of the methylation process. Also associated with increased risk markers for cardiovascular problems, such as total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and with an increased risk of high blood pressure, especially in pregnant women.
