The present preliminary case-control study was undertaken to detect the potential association of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in oxidative stress-related genes: SOD2 (c.47T > C; rs4880), CAT (c.-89A > T; rs7943316), GPX4 (c.660T > A; rs713041), NOS1 (g.117803515C > T; rs1879417) and NOS2 (c.1823C > T; rs2297518 and c.-227G > C; rs10459953) and the occurrence of a stroke. This evidence concerns the gene NOS1 and Stroke.
