Nitric oxide synthase 2(Lambaréné) (G-954C), increased nitric oxide production, and protection against malaria.
A point mutation in the promoter of the nitric oxide synthase 2 gene (NOS2), termed NOS2(Lambaréné) (NOS2-G954C), protects heterozygous carriers against severe malaria as effectively as the sickle… Expand
