Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is marked interpatient variation in responses to psoralen-ultraviolet A (PUVA) photochemotherapy. Identification of molecular biomarkers of PUVA sensitivity may facilitate treatment predictability.The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) influence cutaneous defence against UV radiation-induced oxidative stress and are therefore candidate biomarkers of PUVA sensitivity. Several human GSTs, including...
