Superoxide dismutase 1 and 2 gene polymorphism in Turkish vitiligo patients

role of superoxide dismutase 2 gene ala16val polymorphism and total antioxidant capacity in diabetes and its complications

diabetes mellitus (dm) is a chronic heterogeneous disorder and oxidative stress is a key participant in the development and progression of it and its complications. anti-oxidant status can affect vulnerability to oxidative damage, onset and progression of diabetes and diabetes complications. superoxide dismutase 2 (sod2) is one of the major antioxidant defense systems against free radicals. sod...

Association of Superoxide Dismutase 2 Polymorphism Rs4880 and Open-Angle Glaucoma in a Greek Patients’ Cohort

Purpose: Glaucoma is a multifactorial optic neuropathy and leading cause of visual impairment and blindness. Multigenic inheritance hypothesis is being investigated over the past decades and numerous mainly causative and synergic polymorphisms have been revealed. Aim of this study is to investigate whether superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) polymorphism rs4880 is associated with primary open angle g...

Extracellular superoxide dismutase polymorphism in mice.

OBJECTIVE In this study, we describe a previously unrecognized murine extracellular superoxide dismutase (ecSOD) allele and examine its distribution among various strains and its effect on the ecSOD phenotype. METHODS AND RESULTS Polymerase chain reaction analysis of genomic and cDNA from apolipoprotein E/LDLR-/- mice indicates the presence of 2 distinct transcripts for this enzyme independen...

Manganese Superoxide Dismutase Gene Polymorphism (V16A) is Associated with Diabetic Retinopathy in Slovene (Caucasians) Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Substantial data indicate that oxidative stress is involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Two candidate genes that affect the oxidative stress are manganese mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The aim of the present study was to examine the role of the V16A polymorphism of the Mn-SOD gene and the 4a/b polymorphism of the eNOS g...
