The null genotype of glutathione s-transferase M1 and T1 locus increases the risk for thyroid cancer.

چکیده
Susceptibility to chemical carcinogens plays an important role in the development of most cancers. Several polymorphisms of human drug-metabolizing enzymes influence this individual susceptibility. The genes that encode the isoenzymes of the glutathione s-transferase (GST) system present a polymorphic inheritance. The GST mu 1 (GSTM1) and GST theta 1 (GSTT1) genes have a null allele variant in which the entire gene is absent. The null genotype for both enzymes has been associated with many different types of tumors. To look for the influence of the inheritance pattern of these enzymes on thyroid cancer risk, we used a triplex PCR that included beta-globin gene as a DNA quality control to compare 300 normal individuals of our population to 116 goiter patients. There were 49 cases of benign and 67 cases of malignant nodules: 50 papillary and 17 follicular carcinomas. Comparison between thyroid tumor specimens and normal corresponding samples of 35 cancer patients demonstrated identical patterns, suggesting that the GST system is not involved in the process of follicular dedifferentiation. There was no statistical difference between the prevalence of the deleted alleles in the normal individuals and in the goiter patients. However, papillary carcinoma patients (10%) and follicular carcinoma patients (17%) presented a higher prevalence of the null genotype than the normal population individuals (5%; P < 0.05). We found a 2.6 increased risk of thyroid cancer in individuals with the GSTT1 and GSTM1 combined null inheritance, suggesting that this genotype may be associated with an increased susceptibility to thyroid cancer.

Investigating the rate of glutathione S-transferase T1 and M1 genes deletion in patients with lung cancer
Introduction: Glutathione S-tarnsferases (GST) gene family is one of the enzymes which is responsible for detoxifying mutagens and Carcinogens chemicals. People with null genotype of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes are at higher risk of developing cancer, especially those who are related to smoking. The goal of this study was investigating the rate of glutathione S-transferase T1 and M1 genes deletion an...
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...

Objective(s):Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. In the present study, we examined the polymorphism of GSTT1 and GSTM1 deletion genotypes (T0M1, T1M0, and T0M0) in 100 Glaucoma patients (41with pr...
