Open Access Abstract Systemic sclerosis SSc is a connective tissue disease characterized by tissue fibrosis. One of several complications of SSc pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH can be refractory to treatment both novel and established. In the present study we investigated the ratio of circulating nitric oxide to endothelin-1 in patients with both SSc and PAH and determined whether polymorphisms in NOS2 the nitric oxide synthase 2 gene are associated with susceptibility to PAH. Endothelin-1 in plasma and nitric oxide metabolites nitrate and nitrite in serum were measured. The nitric oxide endothelin-1 ratio was significantly lower in patients with both SSc and PAH than in patients with SSc only or in healthy control .
