Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: specific polymorphisms of genes regulating intracellular redox balance and oxidative stress are related to atherogenesis. Some studies have identified a relationship between progression of atherosclerosis and C242T mutation in CYBA gene coding for p22phox, a subunit of the NADH/NADPH oxidase system. DESIGN: we investigated whether the C242T nucleotide transition is associated with the presence of...
