abstract = "It is becoming increasingly evident that oxidative stress has a supporting role in pathophysiology and progression
of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The aim of our study was to assess the association between polymorphisms
in genes encoding enzymes involved in redox homeostasis, mitochondrial superoxide dismutase
(SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) and glutathione transferases (GSTs) with susceptibility to POAG. Single
nucleotide polymorphisms in GST omega (GSTO1rs4925, GSTO2 rs156697), pi 1 (GSTP1 rs1695), as well as
GPX1 (rs1050450) and SOD2 (rs4880) were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in 102
POAG patients and 302 respective controls. The risk for POAG development was noted in carriers of both
GSTO2*GG and GSTO1*AA variant genotypes (OR = 8.21, p = 0.002). Individuals who carried GPX1*TT and
SOD2*CC genotypes had also an increased risk of POAG development but without significance after Bonferroni
multiple test correction (OR = 6.66, p = 0.005). The present study supports the hypothesis that in combination,
GSTO1/GSTO2, modulate the risk of primary open angle glaucoma.",
