Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The glutathione peroxidase 1 gene (GPX1) and the manganese superoxide dismutase gene (MnSOD) encode the main antioxidant enzymes that detoxify endogenous reactive oxygen species involved in carcinogenesis. Polymorphisms of GPX1 and MnSOD genes, and the risk of transitional cell cancer of the bladder were tested. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genotypes of the leucine (Leu) to proline (Pro) polymorphism at codon...
