Association of homozygous wild-type glutathione S-transferase M1 genotype with increased breast cancer risk.
More than 500 studies have examined the association of the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) genotype with various malignancies yielding inconsistent results. The genotyping was based on a PCR assay that identified the GSTM1 null (-/-) genotype but did not distinguish homozygous wild-type (+/+) and heterozygous (+/-) individuals. We developed an assay that allowed the definition of +/+, +/-,...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphism of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and Development of Breast Cancer
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are encoded by a superfamily of genes and play a role in the detoxification of potential carcinogens. The human GSTs are divided into four classes: alpha, mu, pi and theta. Previous studies indicated that the absence of the Glutathione S-Transferase M1 (GSTM1) protein correlated with an increased risk of developing some types of cancers. Association between spe...
متن کاملThe glutathione S-transferase M1 genotype in ovarian cancer.
Glutathione S-transferase mu-1 (GSTM1) is a polymorphic member of the mu class gene family of the glutathione S-transferases. Individuals who are GSTM1 null have increased susceptibility to lung and colon cancer. We hypothesized that: (a) GSTM1 null individuals might also be at increased risk for development of ovarian cancer; and (b) the GSTM1 genotype would influence response to chemotherapy....
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase M1 null genotype meta-analysis on gastric cancer risk
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have proved to be involved in the detoxifying several carcinogens and may play an important role in carcinogenesis of cancer. Previous studies on the association between Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC) risk reported inconclusive results. To get a precise result, we conducted this present meta-analysis through...
متن کاملAssociation among Serum Organochlorine Pesticide Residues, Glutathione S-Transferase M1 Genetic Polymorphism and Female Breast Cancer
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association among serum organochlorine pesticide residues, glutathione S-transferase M1 genetic polymorphism and female breast cancer. Methods: A 1:1 matched case-control study of 140 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and 140 non-cancer female patients who consulted the five largest hospitals in the Tangshan city from September 2006...
