Abstract excerpt
AIM: To analyze the human genetic variation of glutathione peroxidases (GPX), estimating the functional differences among human populations and suggesting interethnic differences in predisposition to disease and drug response. MATERIALS & METHODS: Using 1000 Genomes Project data, we analyzed 723 GPX variants in 1092 individuals belonging to 14 populations. Combining functional prediction analyses of coding and...
