Abstract excerpt
Mu class of Glutathione-S-transferase (GSTM) genes arrange in a tandem on chromosome 1p13.3. The relationship between genetic variants in the GSTM1-5 gene cluster and breast cancer is still ambiguous. In the present study, 17 tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) covering the GSTMs cluster were originally selected and 11 validated SNPs were used for genotyping 921 cases and 711 controls. The association...
