This study was conducted to investigate the modifying effect of glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 and T1 polymorphisms on aflatoxin-induced hepatocarcinogenesis among chronic hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers. A total of 79 HBsAg-positive cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diagnosed between 1991 and 1997 were identified and individually matched to one or two HBsAg-positive controls on age,...
