Abstract excerpt
Within mitochondria, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) provides a major defence against oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). An alanine-9valine (Ala-9Val) polymorphism in the mitochondrial targeting sequence of MnSOD has been described and has recently been associated with risk of human breast cancer. Our present case-control study was performed to explore the association between MnSOD genetic...
