These results suggest that the ALAD rs1800435 SNP is not related with the risk for ET, but its interaction with the HMOX2 rs1051308 SNP could be weakly associated with the risk for this disease.
The present study suggests a weak association between HMOX1 rs2071746 and HMOX2 rs1051308 polymorphisms and the risk to develop ET in the Spanish population.
Our results suggest that rs1051308 is associated with risk of developing PD in Han Chinese, and further studies involving various ethnicities are needed to validate the association.
We also analysed the role of the interaction between ALAD rs1800435 and the HMOX1 rs2071746, HMOX1 rs2071747, HMOX2 rs2270363 and HMOX2 rs1051308 with the risk of developing ET.
The G/C genotype and the C allele of the 19 G>C-HMOX1 polymorphism and the G/G genotype and the G allele of the -42 + 1444A>G-HMOX2 polymorphism were associated with progression of AMD</span> from dry to wet form (OR 4.83, 5.20, 2.55, 1.69, respectively).
In the present work, we investigated the association between AMD and a G → C transversion at the 19 position in the HMOX1 gene (the 19G>C-HMOX1 polymorphism, rs2071747) and a A → G transition at the -42 + 1444 position in the HMOX2 gene (the -42 + 1444A>G-HMOX2 polymorphism, rs2270363) and its modulation by some environmental factors.
