Abstract excerpt
The association of 4 genetic polymorphisms, NAD(P)H oxidase, manganesesuperoxide dismutase (MnSOD), catalase, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (e-NOS), was assessed with arsenic-related hypertension risk among 79 hypertensive cases and 213 controls in an arseniasis-hyperendemic area of Taiwan. Overall, MnSOD polymorphism significantly increased the risk of hypertension regardless of arsenic exposure. NADPH...
