Glutathione-S-transferase M1, M3, P1 and T1 polymorphisms and severity of lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis
27 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Progression and severity of lung disease differs markedly and early between patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We investigated the hypothesis that polymorphisms in the detoxifying enzymes glutathione-S-transferase (GST) could influence phenotypic presentation of lung disease in CF. METHODS: Genotypes for GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTP1 and GSTT1 were determined in a cohort of 146 children with CF by PCR-based...
