Background: The variability in the distribution of the null phenotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1, due to total or partial gene deletion resulting in the lack of the active enzyme, has been reported in different populations, especially in ethnically well-defined groups but not in Tabuk. This study investigated the variability in the distribution of the null phenotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 in the populati...
Mutational neighbourhoods in genotype-phenotype (GP) maps are widely believed to be more likely to share characteristics than expected from random chance. Such genetic correlations should strongly influence evolutionary dynamics. We explore and quantify these intuitions by comparing three GP maps-a model for RNA secondary structure, the HP model for protein tertiary structure, and the Polyomino...
Southern China is a major nasopharyngeal carcinoma-endemic region. Environmental factors and genetic susceptibility contribute to nasopharyngeal carcinoma development in this area. Polymorphic deletions of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes involved in the detoxification of potentially carcinogenic agents may be a risk factor for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. To investigate the roles of genetic variations of GS...
Besides asbestos exposure, the factors that determine susceptibility to malignant mesothelioma are unknown. We evaluated the risk of GSTM1 null genotype and slow acetylation-associated NAT2 genotype for malignant mesothelioma in relation to asbestos exposure. Both the GSTM1 null genotype and the NAT2 slow acetylator genotype placed individuals at about 2-fold increased risk of developing malign...
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...
BACKGROUND Age-related cataract (ARC) is the leading cause of visual disability and reversible blindness all over the world. The different expressions of GST isozymes among animals may explain the variations in the cataract formation caused by oxidative stress. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated the distribution of GST gene polymorphisms in ARC patients and the possible associations betwe...
Oral cancer is the leading cancer type among Southeast Asian men and is causally associated with the use of tobacco. Genetic polymorphisms in xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes modify the effect of environmental exposures, thereby playing a significant role in gene-environment interactions and hence contribute to the high degree of variance in individual susceptibility to cancer risk. This study i...
We investigated the association between alcohol consumption, GSTM1 genotype, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-DNA adduct levels in breast tissue. Women referred for breast surgery were enrolled prior to surgery, responded to an interview, and gave a blood sample. Women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal or lobular cancer were defined as cases, and women with be...
We have characterized the glucose-transport system in soleus muscle from female GLUT4-null mice to determine whether GLUT1, 3 or 5 account for insulin-stimulated glucose-transport activity. Insulin increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake 2.8- and 2.1-fold in soleus muscle from wild-type and GLUT4-null mice, respectively. Cytochalasin B, an inhibitor of GLUT1- and GLUT4-mediated glucose transport, inhib...
Such differences in white blood cell (WBC) count could clearly impact on disease course. Ahuja and colleagues previously reported that DARC-null individuals show increased susceptibility to HIV infection, but slower HIV disease progression once infected. 2 In this issue of Blood, Kulkarni et al examine associations among WBC count, DARC genotype, and survival in a large natural history cohort o...
