Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress is associated with the pathogenesis of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Because glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are the major detoxification enzymes which protect cells against oxidative stress, genetic variations in the GST gene may modulate the risk of POP. This study aimed to determine the association between advanced POP and the polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 (rs1695). STUDY...
