Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elevated oxidative stress plays a significant role in pathophysiology of keratoconus (KC). Polymorphisms of the antioxidant enzymes as CAT and GPX-1 might alter their antioxidant enzyme capacities leading to increase in the oxidative damage induced KC. AIM: To analyze the impact of CAT rs7943316 A/T and GPX-1 rs1050450 C/T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the risk and severity of KC among a...
