Abstract excerpt
Although some blood parameters have been suggested to modulate in-vitro induction of sister chromatid exchanges by 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), a metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, the increased sensitivity has largely been assigned to a homozygous deletion of glutathione S-transferase T1 gene (GSTT1 null genotype). However, some DEB-sensitive individuals have been shown to be GSTT1 positive (having at least one...
