Association of the glutathione s-transferase m1, t1 polymorphisms with cancer: evidence from a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of multifunctional enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of many xenobiotics, including a wide range of environmental carcinogens. While the null genotypes in GSTM1 and GSTT1 have been implicated in tumorigenesis, it remains inconsiste...

Odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. RESULTS: The null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms were associated with a significantly increased risk in cancer (for GSTM1: OR = 1.17; 95%CI = 1.14-1.21; for GSTT1: OR = 1.16; 95%CI = 1.11-1.21, respectively). When the analysis was performed based on their smoking history, the risk associated of GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null genotypes with cancer is further increased (for GSTM1: OR = 2.66; 95%CI = 2.19-3.24; for GSTT1: OR = 2.46; 95%CI = 1.83-3.32, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms may play critical roles in the development of cancer, especially in smokers.http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3826727?pdf=render |
