Abstract
Background: Oxidative stress has been connected to the progressingof many diseases, like chronic kidney disease (CKD). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of antioxidant enzymes may participate to some diseases that can be associated with oxidative stress. Methodology:The blood sampled from chronic kidney disease -hemodialysis patients- (thirty patients) who visit the Dialysis center in Marjan teaching hospital /Babylon /Iraq in addition to the thirty control samples. Results:PCR-SSCP results for SOD2 gene representedthe presence of two different haplotypes due to the numbers of bands in the SOD2gene including 5 and 6 bands, these haplotypes were detected between renal failure patient groups and control, sothisindicatethe association between 5 and 6bands in patients when compared with the control group. Conclusion:The current study conclude that, SSCP technique could be a good way to detect SOD2SNPs in a patient with chronic renal failure.
