Abstract excerpt
Glutathione transferases, a super family of dimeric phase II metabolic enzymes play a vital role in biotransformation of many substances. This study evaluates the influence of genetic polymorphism of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene loci on esophageal cancer risk in Assam and Delhi from India. DNA from blood samples of esophageal cancer cases (203,112) and controls (286,150) from Assam and Delhi, respectively, were...
