Abstract excerpt
The exact cause of acne vulgaris remains unclear. However, evidence suggests polymorphism in the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene increases acne vulgaris risk by altering the protein's secondary structure. This study aimed to perform in silico and in vitro analyses of the MnSOD Val16Ala substitution, involving 119 acne vulgaris patients and 96 controls. Bioinformatic tools, including SIFT, PolyPhen,...
