Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Characteristic for the genes encoding glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 and GSTT1 is a null allele, suggested to increase susceptibility to chronic diseases. We report an optimized method for the determination of copy number variation (CNV) in GST genes. DESIGN AND METHODS: Real-time multiplex PCR reactions were optimized for quantification of GSTM1 and GSTT1 CNV using the DeltaCt method, a fixed...
