To investigate the role of the glutathione S-transferase M1 deletion (GSTM1*0/0) in bladder carcinogenesis, the polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the GSTM1 genotypes of cancer patients (n = 234) and hospital controls (n = 202). Overall, the proportion of GSTM1*0/0 in the case group was...
