Abstract excerpt
The C242T polymorphism of the CYBA gene that encodes p22phox, a component of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, has been found to modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Oxidative stress is thought to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is manifested as increased availability of ROS because of an imbalanced redox state. Therefore, the aim of...
