متن کاملInvestigating 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 کاملMulti-institutional prostate cancer study of genetic susceptibility in populations of African descent.
Prostate cancer disparities have been reported in men of African descent who show the highest incidence, mortality, compared with other ethnic groups. Few studies have explored the genetic and environmental factors for prostate cancer in men of African ancestry. The glutathione-S-transferases family conjugates carcinogens before their excretion and is expressed in prostate tissue. This study ad...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphisms, cigarette smoking and colorectal cancer risk among Chinese in Singapore.
Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for colorectal cancer. Putative colorectal procarcinogens in tobacco smoke include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic aromatic amines that are known substrates of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). This study examined the influence of functional GST gene polymorphisms on the smoking-colorectal cancer association in a population known to be minim...
متن کاملA population-based, case-control study of polymorphisms in carcinogen-metabolizing genes, smoking, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma risk.
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is associated with a twofold increased risk of pancreatic cancer. We conducted a population-based case-control study in six San Francisco Bay area counties from 1994 to 2001 to investigate associations between polymorphisms in genes for two carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes (cytochrome P450 1A1 [CYP1A1] and glutathione S-transferase [GST]), smoking, and adenocarcinoma...
