Abstract excerpt
Models for the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) imply the role of individual genetic variations in genes involved in detoxification mechanisms. GSTP1 enzyme plays a key role in the biotransformation of a variety of carcinogens. The corresponding gene is subject to a single nucleotide polymorphism (A(313)G) leading to abolished enzyme activity. In order to evaluate whether the GSTP1 polymorphism...
