bladder cancer glutathione S-transferase genotyping

summary

Objective. Genetic polymorphism was studied in respect to variability of
chemical carcinogens sensitivity.
Patients and methods. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), genotypes
of GST Ml and GST Tl were analysed in the group of 34 urinary bladder
cancer and in 180 controls.
Results. It was found that a proportions of the wild type and defeted
genotypes were comparable in patients and controls. However, in urinary
bladder cancer patients a defect in GST Tl was always accompanied by a
defect of GST Ml.
Conclusion. It seems reasonable, to claim that a coincidence of two defected
GST genes is responsible for an increased susceptibility to carcinogens,
particularly to those present in tobacco smoke. A correlation of malignacy
grading with genotypes appearance re±uires more studies.
