Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Deletions of the glutathione S-transferase genes M1 and T1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1) have been studied as potential risk factors for prostate cancer. Conflicting results have been obtained. Moreover, most such studies could not discriminate heterozygous from homozygous carriers of the non-deleted alleles. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether copy number variation (CNV) of the GSTM1 and/or GSTT1 genes contribute...
