Abstract excerpt
The role of myeloperoxidase (MPO), and glutathione S-transferase mu and theta (GSTM1 and GSTT1) genetic polymorphisms on lung cancer risk was investigated in 110 Caucasian patients and 119 matched controls. Single genotype variants were not significantly associated with lung cancer risk. However, inheritance of the combined GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes showed a significant increase in risk (crude OR = 2.32, 95%...
