Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that deficiency in the biotransformation enzyme glutathione-S-transferase theta (GSTT1) is a risk factor for multiple myeloma (MM). The present case-control study of 102 MM patients and 205 controls revealed a significant trend in increasing risk of MM with inheritance of multiple putative 'high risk' genetic variants in related pathways of benzene detoxification. Individuals who carried...
