Abstract excerpt
The distribution of the polymorphic alleles of the genes coding for glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) M1 and T1 was compared with the results of cytological grading of exfoliated urothelial cells (Pap test) in a non-diseased high-risk group of workers formerly exposed to benzidine in the Shanghai dyestuff industry (n = 317). All subjects were genotyped for GSTT1 and M1 gene polymorphism by allele-specific PCR....
