Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes catalyse the detoxification of by-products of reactive oxygen species and are thus important in cellular defence mechanisms. The GSTs are polymorphic with allelic variants encoding isoforms with functional differences. GST polymorphism has been associated with susceptibility and clinical outcome in patients with cancer. In this retrospective cohort, we have investigated...
