TXN and chronic granulomatous disease: Within that dataset, we specifically looked at the expression of antioxidants and found that the basal expression of superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2) and Thioredoxin (TXN) were significantly elevated in CGD monocytes compared to control monocytes (Table 1; 1.9-fold more SOD2 mRNA, p = 0.008, and 1.4-fold more TXN mRNA, p = 0.04, in CGD monocytes compared to controls).
