Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferases constitute a superfamily of enzymes that catalyse the inactivating conjugation of endogenous and environmental substrates involved in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and glutathione. Genes encoding either glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 or Theta-1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1, respectively) isoforms are polymorphic. Homozygotes for the mutated inactive alleles of each gene are...
