Functional Haplotypes in the Promoter Region of Transcription Factor Nrf2 in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) protects against oxidative stress which is important in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Three single nucleotide polymorphisms and 1 triplet repeat polymorphism are found in the promoter region of the Nrf2 gene. Mole...
