Protection against laryngeal and pharyngeal carcinoma: Heterozygous vs. homozygous deletions of GSTM1 and GSTT1

Deletions in GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes are considered to be a risk factor for cancer development but the exact location of these deletions in the genome was unknown. Three main objectives of the current study were to: (a) identify the boundaries of these deletions in the human genome, (b) screen homozyg...
