Glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 null genotype frequency in chronic myeloid leukaemia.

TLDR
The GST T1 null genotype frequency in CML patients is significantly different from that in controls (odds ratio (OR) 3.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3–7.45, P=0.008).
Abstract
Polymorphisms associated with genes coding for glutathione S-transferase enzymes are known to influence metabolism of different carcinogens and have been associated with incidence of various types of cancer. We have determined the GST M1 and GST T1 'null' genotype frequency in 81 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and 123 racially and geographically matched control individuals by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). GST M1 null genotype frequencies in CML and controls were 28.4% and 27.7%, respectively. GST T1 null genotype frequencies in CML and controls were 19.8% and 7.3%, respectively. The GST T1 null genotype frequency in CML patients is significantly different from that in controls (odds ratio (OR) 3.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-7.45, P=0.008).

Association of cytochrome P450, glutathione S-transferase and N-acetyl transferase 2 gene polymorphisms with incidence of acute myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: In the population studied, persons with glutathione-S-transferase M1 null genotype and N-acetyl transferase 2*6B allele are at increased risk of developing AML, and the risk is considerably enhanced in persons with both glutath Pioneer S-transferases M1 and N -acetyltransferase 2 deficiency.

TL;DR: A case-control study analyzing the prevalence of the polymorphisms MTHFR C677T, MTH FR A1298C, del{GSTM1}, del {GSTT1}, and haptoglobin in 105 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and 273 healthy controls found these two loci to be associated with CML in this population.

Increased frequencies of glutathione-S-transferase (GSTM1 and GSTT1) null genotypes in Indian patients with chronic myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: It is suggested that heritable GST status may influence the risk of developing CML, and a 2.67-fold increased risk for CML in individuals with GSTT1 null genotype as compared to those possessing both alleles of the gene.

TL;DR: The odds are a way of representing probability, especially familiar for betting, and enable us to examine the effects of other variables on that relationship, using logistic regression.

Mammalian class theta GST and differential susceptibility to carcinogens: a review.

TL;DR: The comparison of the aminoacidic homologies among mammals suggests that a duplication of an ancient GST theta occurred before the speciation of mammals and resulted in the subunits GSTT1 and GSTT2, which are suspected to confer decreased or increased risk of cancer in relation to the source of exposure.

TL;DR: In humans, polymorphism in GST genes has been associated with susceptibility to various diseases though some recent data indicate that these genotypes modify disease phenotype, and GST genotypes alone and in combination have been linked with clinical outcome.

TL;DR: The influence of glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms on the risk of several cancers, including basal cell carcinoma of skin, is described, suggesting a role for GST enzymes in the detoxification of the products of ultraviolet radiation-induced oxidative stress.
