Abstract excerpt
Germline polymorphisms of detoxification genes could influence susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) are detoxifying enzymes involved in biotransformation of metabolites preventing cells from oxidative damage. In order to evaluate the possible contribution of the A313G GSTP1 inactivating polymorphism, alone and in combination with...
