Role for Functional SOD2 Polymorphism in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in a Chinese Population

Role for Functional SOD2 Polymorphism in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in a Chinese Population

The superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) gene is a pivotal part of oxidative stress system, which could induce the onset of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In this study, we quantified the influence of a SOD2exonic polymorphism (rs4880) on PAH susceptibility. We genotyped this single nucleotide poly...
