Manganese Superoxide Dismutase Gene Polymorphisms in Psoriatic Arthritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility to psoriatic arthritis. MnSOD gene polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphisms method in fifty-two patients with psoriatic arthritis and 90 healthy controls.The genotype frequency of MnSOD 1183C/T was significantly higher in patients with psoriatic arthritis than in controls. In contrast, the frequency of MnSOD 1183T/T was significantly decreased in patients with psoriatic arthritis. The phenotype frequency of MnSOD 1183C was significantly increased in patients with psoriatics arthritis in comparison to healthy controls.Therefore, MnSOD 1183C polymorphisms may be a precipitating factor for the development of psoriatic arthritis.

متن کاملSuperoxide Dismutase Gene (SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3) Polymorphisms and Antituberculosis Drug-induced Hepatitis
PURPOSE Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious issue often leading to discontinuation of the proper regimen of antituberculosis drugs (ATD). Previous studies have suggested that antioxidant enzymes play an important role in DILI. METHODS We explored whether polymorphisms in superoxide dismutase genes, including Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) an...
متن کاملNull Results in Brief No Association Between SOD2 or NQO1 Genotypes and Risk of Bladder Cancer
SOD2 encodes manganese superoxide dismutase, a mitochondrial enzyme that protects the cell against damage from superoxide free radicals. A common polymorphism, a T ! C transition (Val16Ala), was shown to alter the manganese superoxide dismutase mitochondrial targeting sequence (1). Animal studies have linked reduction in manganese superoxide dismutase activity to increased DNA damage and higher...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms of manganese-superoxide dismutase and glutathione-S-transferase in chronic alcoholic pancreatitis.
Chronic alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for the development of chronic pancreatitis. However, chronic pancreatitis occurs only in a minority of heavy drinkers. This variability may be due to yet unidentified genetic factors. Several enzymes involved in the degradation of reactive oxidants and xenobiotics, such as glutathione-S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) and manganese-superoxide dismutase...
