Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress has been implicated in etiopathogenesis of Graves' disease (GD). Increased lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage have been found in GD patients. Oxidative DNA damage is mainly repaired by the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. Polymorphisms in DNA-repair genes have been associated with the increased risk of various diseases and could also be related to the etiology of GD. Therefore, we...
