Polymorphism in Cytochrome P450 2D6, Glutathione S-Transferases Pi 1 Genes, and Organochlorine Pesticides in Alzheimer Disease: A Case-Control Study in North Indian Population.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: It has been assumed that the association between Alzheimer disease (AD) and pesticides may be stronger among genetically susceptible individuals. The aim of the study was to examine the genetic polymorphism in cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and glutathione S-transferases pi 1 (GSTP1) with respect to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and metals in AD. METHODS: This study included 100 patients with AD and...
