The current exploratory study sought to examine sequence variations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and 2 (SOD2) genes in patients with myelomeningocele and to identify variants altering risk for myelomeningocele.
Four SNPs in the SOD1 gene (rs 202446, rs202447, rs4816405, and rs2070424) and one SNP in the SOD2 gene ( rs5746105) [corrected] appeared to be associated with MM risk in our population.
