Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Cataract formation is accelerated by hyperglycemia due to the excessive production of oxidative stress. This study aimed to examine the underlaying role of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) rs1800668, catalase (CAT) rs1001179 and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) 50 bp Indel promotor region variants in the pathogenesis of cataract in patients with diabetes. METHODS: A population-based case-control study of n=680...
