Abstract excerpt
Two functional polymorphisms within the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene have been reported to lead to increased oxidative stress damage. The MnSOD 58T > C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within exon 3 changes isoleucine to threonine, leading to decreased thermal stability and reduced enzymatic activity in vivo and in vitro. The MnSOD 60C > T polymorphism within exon 3 changes leucine to...
