Abstract excerpt
This study was conducted to investigate the association of genetic polymorphisms in the MnSOD and GPX1 genes with the risk and invasiveness of bladder cancer in a Turkish population. This prospectively designed study enrolled 157 patients with bladder cancer (mean age 63.2 ± 10.86 years) and 224 healthy controls (mean age 61.7 ± 8.39 years). Genotyping of the MnSOD Ala-9Val and GPX1 Pro198Leu polymorphisms was...
