Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypoxic-ischaemic perinatal brain injury leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the resultant cell and tissue damage may cause neurological sequelae such as cerebral palsy and/or epilepsy. A decrease in the capacity for defending against ROS may increase the susceptibility to cerebral palsy. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of common functional polymorphisms in...
