Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human glutathione S-transferase omega-1 (hGSTO1) has monomethylarsonate (MMA(v)) reductase activity. Recent study suggests that two polymorphisms (E155 deletion and E208K) in hGSTO1 can be related to inter-individual variations in inorganic arsenic metabolism. As useful PCR-based genotyping methods for these hGSTO1 polymorphisms are not available and data on hGSTO1 polymorphism in African and Asian...
