N2  - The aim of this case–control study was to investigate both the distribution of MCP-1, eNOS, tPA and PAI-1 gene polymorphism and correlation of genotypes and phenotypes. Method Between September 1997-January 2005, 20 patients with HPS (group 1) were compared with a group of cirrhotic patients (group 2, n = 19) as well as unrelated healthy controls (group 3, n = 59) in respect to MCP1, eNOS, tPA and PAI-1 gene polymorphism frequency distribution. Results MCP1-2518G allele carriage in patients with HPS was higher than in controls (P = 0.01). In non-HPS cirrhotic patients, eNOS Glu298Asp, Asp gene carriers and frequency of Asp alleles were detected to be considerably higher than in patients with HPS and healthy controls (P Conclusion HPS is more common in patients with MCP-1 2518G gene carriage; conversely it is less frequent in patients with high frequency of eNOS 298Asp allele and eNOS 298Asp carriage.
