Association of alpha globin gene copy number with exhaled nitric oxide in a cross-sectional study of healthy Black adults
Introduction The genetic determinants of fractional exhalation of nitric oxide (FeNO), a marker of lung inflammation, are understudied in Black individuals. Alpha globin (HBA) restricts nitric oxide signalling in arterial endothelial cells via interactions with nitric oxide synthase; however, its ro...
