Abstract excerpt
Clinical studies have suggested that a defect in both glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 and GSTT1 increases the risk of drug-induced hepatotoxicity. The present study developed the method that enables genotyping of GSTM1 and GSTT1 directly using a small aliquot of blood samples based on an isothermal Smart amplification process version 2 (SmartAmp-2). SmartAmp-2 reaction could complete the genotyping of GSTM1...
