Objective: To investigate the role of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) C/T polymorphism (rs1800668) in modulating the chances of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Pakistani population.
Methods: A total of 400 individuals including 200 controls and 200 patients of RA, were genotyped. Detection of rs1800668 polymorphism was carried out using PCR based amplification strategy (allele specific).
Results: The results for Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) indicated that the allele frequencies for GPX1 polymorphism were not deviant from HWE in whole population under observation. The statistical analysis indicated that significant association existed between rs1800668 polymorphism and RA (p<0.01). CT genotype increased the risk of RA development by 1.8582 times (OR: 1.8582; 95% CI 1.2154 to 2.8409). CC genotype was found to have protective effect against the disease development (OR: 0.5133; 95% CI 0.3403 to 0.7742) while TT genotype was found to have association with RA development but the risk level was marginal (OR: 1.5319; 95% CI 0.6124 to 3.8322).
Conclusion: The present finding suggests the importance of GPX1 C/T polymorphism (rs1800668) in development of RA in Pakistani population. The protective role of CC genotype against the development of RA in local population was also observed.

Aims: Cataract formation is accelerated by hyperglycemia due to the excessive production of oxidative stress. This study aimed to examine the underlaying role of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) rs1800668, catalase (CAT) rs1001179 and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) 50 bp Indel promotor region variants in the pathogenesis of cataract in patients with diabetes.
Methods: A population-based case-control study of n=680 individuals was conducted which comprised of four respective groups: type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic cataract, senile cataract patients and controls.

Oxidative stress and antioxidants play an important role in obesity etiopathology. Genetic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the antioxidant-related genes, may impact disease risk in several populations. This preliminary study aimed to explore the association of 12 SNPs related to superoxide dismutase (), catalase (), glutathione peroxidase (), glutathione-S-transferase (), and nitric oxide synthase () genes with obesity susceptibility in a Saudi population.

Objective: The dopamine and oxidative stress hypotheses are leading theories of the pathoetiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). Glutathione Peroxidase 1 (GPx-1), a major antioxidant enzyme, and the most abundantly expressed member of the GPx family, plays an important role in metabolic dopamine changes, which are closely related to neurological and psychiatric disorders. The impact of GPx-1 polymorphisms has rarely been explored in the field of SCZ.
