Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms (GST) were examined in 142 cases with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) to explore whether the GST polymorphisms confer a risk to an individual to develop ICVD. Tobacco smoke is a major cause of both cancer and vascular disease. The subjects were therefore stratified with ICVD for smoking status, and then the authors examined whether polymorphisms in this...
