Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) catalyze the glutathione conjugation of reactive electrophiles, including carcinogens and many antineoplastic drugs. GSTT1 and GSTM1 are polymorphically deleted, but the full range of genetic variation in these two genes has not yet been explored. We set out to systematically identify common polymorphisms in GSTT1 and GSTM1, followed by functional genomic studies....
