Genetic polymorphisms of antioxidant enzymes in preterm infants

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress (OS) is significantly involved in the development of several complications associated with preterm birth, such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Evidence is growing about the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in OS or antioxidant...
