Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glutathione S-transferases (GST) detoxify a broad range of carcinogenic metabolites and lack of GSTM1 and GSTT1 activity due to gene deletions are prevalent. The associations of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms with endometrial cancer risk have been inconsistent. METHODS: We investigated gene dosage effects of GSTM1 and GSTT1 copy number in 441 endometrial cancer cases and 1,237 matched controls selected...
