Polymorphism of the NADH/NADPH Oxidase <i>p22 phox</i> Gene in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

The mutation of the potential heme-binding site of the p22 phox gene may reduce susceptibility to CAD. Our observations suggest that the C242T polymorphism of the p22 phox gene is a novel genetic marker that has a protective effect on coronary risk.
