Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Oxidative Stress-Related Genes and the Risk of a Stroke in a Polish Population-A Preliminary Study.

ABSTRACT: The present preliminary case-control study was undertaken to detect the potential association of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in oxidative stress-related genes: SOD2 (c.47T > C; rs4880), CAT (c.-89A > T; rs7943316), GPX4 (c.660T > A; rs713041), NOS1 (g.117803515C > T; rs1879417) and NOS2 (c.1823C > T; rs2297518 and c.-227G > C; rs10459953) and the occurrence of a stroke. The SNPs were determined using the TaqMan^® Allelic Discrimination Assay in 107 patients with strokes and 107 age- and sex-matched individuals who had not experienced cerebrovascular accidents. The T alleles of the rs4880 were positively correlated with a stroke (bootstrap OR 1.31; 1.07-1.59 95% CI). In the case of the rs713041, an association with the T allele was
