Copy number variations (CNVs) of the glutathione-S-transferase θ-1 (GSTT1) and glutathione-S-transferase μ-1 (GSTM1) gene loci can lead to complete lack of enzyme and have been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. As GSTs are involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics, CNVs may modify CRC risk associated with smoking exposure and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) use. We investigated CRC risk...
