Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) participate in the detoxification of chemotherapeutic agents. Genetic polymorphisms in GST genes (GSTP1 Ile105Val, copy-number variants of GSTM1 and GSTT1) that lead to diminished enzyme activity have been associated with increased chemotherapeutic treatment benefit in colorectal cancer patients. AIMS: We assessed the effect of genetic polymorphisms in GST genes on...
