Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in Iran. Knowledge of the epidemiology of the disease is essential in planning for prevention. So this study aimed to investigate the epidemiological aspects of gastric cancer including prevalence, incidence, mortality, and risk factors of Iran. METHODS This systematic review study was based on articles published in both English and Persian languages during the years of 1970-2020 in international databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus) and national databases (including SID, Magiran, and IranDoc). Papers related to epidemiological aspects of the disease including mortality, prevalence, incidence, and risk entered the final review. RESULTS According to the studies, the minimum and maximum prevalence of gastric cancer in northwestern Iran (Ardabil) is between 0.2 and 100 per 100,000. Also, the death rate per 100,000 people ranged from 10.6 to 15.72 and the ASMR ranged from 4.2 to 32.2%. On the other hand, the incidence of GC was higher in men than in women (74.9 vs 4.6%). The GC risk ratio was 8-times higher in the elderly than in the other age groups (HR=8.0, 2.7-23.5). The incidence of gastric cancer in patients with H. pylori infection was 18-times and that of smokers 2-times higher than other populations. Low level of economic situation and food insecurity increased the odds of GC by 2.42- and 2.57-times, respectively. It should be noted that there was a direct relationship between consumption of processed red meat, dairy products, fruit juice, smoked and salty fish and legumes, strong and hot tea, and consumption of salt and gastric cancer incidence. There was also an inverse relationship between citrus consumption, fresh fruit, garlic, and gastric cancer. In addition, the mRNA genes are the most GC-related genes. CONCLUSION Given the high incidence of GC in Iran, changing lifestyle and decreasing consumption of preservatives in food, increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, and improving the lifestyle can be effective in reducing the incidence of this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence or absence of glutathione S-transferase M1 gene (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase T1 gene (GSTT1) polymorphisms, and their combined effects have been suggested as a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVES An updated meta-analysis was performed to solve the controversy. METHODS Meta-analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were used. RESULTS Overall, the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with an increased CRC risk in Caucasians (odds ratio (OR) = 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-1.23), Asians (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.32), high-quality studies (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18). Moreover, the GSTM1 null genotype was also associated with an increased colon cancer risk (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.16-1.51). The GSTT1 null genotype was also associated with an increased CRC risk in Asians (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.15) and Caucasians (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09-1.41). Moreover, The GSTT1 null genotype was associated with an increased rectal cancer risk (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.01-1.27, I2 = 8.3%) in subgroup analysis by tumor location. Last, the GSTM1 null/GSTT1 null genotype was associated with an increased CRC risk in Asians. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis indicates that the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes are associated with increased CRC risk in Asians and Caucasians, and the GSTM1 null/GSTT1 null genotype was associated with increased CRC risk in Asians.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer has been considered as one of the complicated multi-stage processes after adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Therefore, studies of the molecular dysregulation basis could present information on the recognition of the potent biomarkers and treatment targets for this disease. Even though outcomes of the patients with colorectal cancer have been improved largely with current annual screening plans, it is necessary to have reliable prognostic biomarkers because of the disease heterogeneity. There is a significant relationship between SNP in IL1RN* 2 (IL1ra), −509 C/T (TGFB1), rs11556218 T>G and rs4778889 T/C (IL16), miRNA-binding site polymorphisms in IL16, rs4464148 (SMAD7), rs6983267 (EGF), GSTT1, TACG haplotype (CTLA4), 1793G> A (MTHFR), Leu/Leu genotype of (EXO1), −137 G/C (IL18), C/T genotype (XRCC3), I3434T (XRCC7), MGMT, C3435T (MDR1), ff genotype of FokI, 677CT+TT (MTHFR), G2677T/A (MDR1) and CRC. Increased risk has been observed in VDR ApaI genotype “aa”. Finally, the protective effect has been explored in the TACA haplotype (CTLA4). According to the findings, the genetic polymorphisms in the immunity-associated genes are related to the CRC amongst the Iranian patients. Therefore, more large-scale functional investigations are necessary for confirming the results.

Molecular evaluation of glutathione S transferase family genes in patients with sporadic colorectal cancer. World J Gastroenterol 2018; 24:4462-4471. [PMID: 30356976 PMCID: PMC6196337 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v24.i39.4462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2018] [Revised: 07/27/2018] [Accepted: 08/24/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association between polymorphisms in glutathione S transferases (GSTs) and the risk of sporadic colorectal cancer (SCRC), tumor progression and the survival of patients.
METHODS A case-control study of 970 individuals from the Brazilian population was conducted (232 individuals from the case group with colorectal cancer and 738 individuals from the control group without a history of cancer). PCR multiplex and PCR-RFLP techniques were used to genotype the GST polymorphisms. The tumors were categorized according to the TNM classification: tumor extension (T), affected lymph nodes (N), and presence of metastasis (M). Logistic regression, multiple logistic regression and survival analysis were used to analyze the data. The results are presented in terms of odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The level of significance was set at 5% (P ≤ 0.05).
RESULTS Age equal to or over 62 years (OR = 8.79; 95%CI: 5.90-13.09, P < 0.01) and female gender (OR = 2.91; 95%CI: 1.74-4.37; P < 0.01) were associated with increased risk of SCRC. Analysis of the polymorphisms revealed an association between the GSTM1 polymorphisms and a risk of SCRC (OR = 1.45; 95%CI: 1.06-2.00; P = 0.02), as well as between GSTT1 and a reduced risk of the disease (OR = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.43-0.98; P = 0.04). An interaction between the presence of the wild-type allele of GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and tobacco consumption on risk of SCRC (OR = 2.33; 95%CI: 1.34-4.05; P = 0.05) was observed. There was an association between the GSTM1 null genotype and the presence of advanced tumors (OR = 2.33; 95%CI: 1.23-4.41; P = 0.009), as well as increased risk of SCRC in the presence of a combination of GSTT1 non-null/GSTM1 null genotypes (OR = 1.50; 95%CI: 1.03-2.19; P = 0.03) and GSTT1 non-null/GSTM1 null/GSTP1 Val* (OR = 1.85; 95%CI: 1.01-3.36, P = 0.04). Combined GSTT1 non-null/GSTM1 null genotypes (OR = 2.40; 95%CI: 1.19-4.85; P = 0.01) and GSTT1 non-null/GSTM1 null/GSTP1 Val* (OR = 2.92; 95%CI: 1.05-8.12; P = 0.04) were associated with tumor progression. Polymorphisms were not associated with the survival of patients with SCRC.
CONCLUSION Females aged 62 years or older are more susceptible to SCRC. Polymorphisms of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null genotypes modulated the susceptibility to SCRC in the population studied.

Abstract
Cancer arises from complex, multi-layer interactions between diverse genetic and environmental factors. Genetic studies have identified multiple loci associated with tumor susceptibility. However, little is known about how germline polymorphisms interact with one another and with somatic mutations within a tumor to mediate acquisition of cancer traits. Here, we survey recent studies showing gene-gene interactions, also known as epistases, affecting genetic susceptibility in colorectal, gastric and esophageal cancers. We also catalog epistasis types and cancer hallmarks with respect to the interacting genes. A total of 22 gene variation pairs displayed all levels of statistical epistasis, including synergistic, redundant, suppressive and co-suppressive interactions. Five genes primarily involved in base excision repair formed a linear topology in the interaction network, MUTYH-OGG1-XRCC1-PARP1-MMP2, and three genes in mTOR cell-proliferation pathway formed another linear network, PRKAG2-RPS6KB1-PIK3CA. Discrete pairwise epistasis was also found in nucleotide excision repair, detoxification, proliferation, TP53, TGF-β and other pathways. We propose that three modes of biological interaction underlie the molecular mechanisms for statistical epistasis. The direct binding, linear pathway and convergence modes can exhibit any level of statistical epistasis in susceptibility to gastrointestinal cancers, and this is likely true for other complex diseases as well. This review highlights the link between cancer hallmarks and susceptibility genes.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an essential role to supply the cell with metabolic energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). As a consequence, they are also the primary source of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can cause oxidative damage of individual respiratory chain complexes. Indeed, affected OXPHOS subunits result in decreases in ATP production and increases in ROS formation which generate oxidative phosphorylation deficiency leading to mitochondrial dysfunctions. It has been suggested that ROS play a vital role in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study which aimed to investigate the genetic variant effect of the antioxidant enzymes GSTM1 and GSTT1 on mitochondrial disease among a Tunisian population. In this report, 109 patients with mitochondrial disease and 154 healthy controls were genotyped by multiplex PCR amplification, and data were analyzed by SPSS v20 software. The results showed that GSTM1 null genotype was found to be associated with mitochondrial disease with a protective effect; however, no significant association of GSTT1 polymorphism with mitochondrial disease risk was revealed. But, interestingly, our findings highlight that GSTM1 active and GSTT1 null genotype combination increased by three fold the risk of developing mitochondrial disease with p c = 0.020, notably mitochondrial myopathy with p c = 0.046 and Leigh syndrome with p c = 0.042. In conclusion, this study suggests that GSTM1 active and GSTT1 null genotype combination might be a risk factor in developing mitochondrial disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and the sixth among women, except for non-melanoma skin tumors, in Brazil. Epidemiological evidences reveal the multifactorial etiology of this cancer, highlighting risk factors such as: infection by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, advanced age, smoking, chronic alcohol abuse, eating habits and genetic polymorphisms. Considering the context of genetic polymorphisms, there is the absence of the GSTM1 gene. The lack of GSTM1 function to detoxify xenobiotics and promote defense against oxidative stress leads to increased DNA damage, promoting gastric carcinogenesis. This process is multifactorial and the development of gastric cancer results from a complex interaction of these variables. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association of GSTM1 null polymorphism in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted from 70 articles collected in SciELO and PubMed databases, between September 2015 and July 2016. In order to evaluate a possible association, we used the odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%). To assess the heterogeneity of the studies was used the chi-square test. Statistical analysis was performed using the BioEstat® 5.3. RESULTS This study included 70 studies of case-control, including 28,549 individuals, which were assessed for the null polymorphism of the GSTM1 gene, and of which 11,208 (39.26%) were cases and 17,341 (60.74%) were controls. The final analysis showed that the presence of the GSTM1 gene acts as a protective factor against the development of gastric cancer (OR=0.788; 95%CI 0.725-0.857; P<0.0001). Positive statistical association was found in Asia (OR=0.736; 95%CI 0.670-0.809; P<0.0001) and Eurasia (OR=0.671; 95%CI 0.456-0.988; P=0.05). However, statistically significant data was not obtained in Europe (OR=1.033; 95%CI 0.873-1.222; P=0.705) and America (OR=0.866; 95%CI 0.549-1.364; P=0.534). Therefore, the results can not be deduced around the world. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis concluded that the presence of the GSTM1 gene is a protector for the emergence of gastric cancer, especially in Asian countries, but this result was not found in Europe and America.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are enzymes which expressed in many tissues and play important roles in neutralization of toxic compounds, and protecting hosts against cancer. Among several GSTs, Glutathione S-transferases mu (GSTM) has been drawn attention upon the association with the genetic risk for many types of cancers. But whether the GSTM1 polymorphisms confer the susceptibility to colorectal cancer in Asians has not been well established. We searched the PubMed database with GSTM1, polymorphism and colorectal cancer, attempting to identify the eligible studies. In total, 33 case-control studies in Asian populations with 8502 colorectal cancer patients and 13699 controls were included in the current meta-analysis. The association between the polymorphism and susceptibility to colorectal cancer was evaluated by the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The pooled meta-analysis suggested that GSTM1 null variant was correlated to the colorectal cancer risk in Asians. There was a marginal heterogeneity among these eligible studies. Nevertheless, cumulative meta-analysis observed a trend of an obvious association between the GSTM1 null genotype and colorectal cancer risk in Asians. In summary, the meta-analysis suggested that GSTM1 null polymorphism confer the susceptibility to colorectal cancer in Asians, especially in Chinese populations.

Abstract
A novel system for copy number variation (CNV) analysis was developed in the present study using a combination of magnetic separation and chemiluminescence (CL) detection technique. The amino-modified probes were firstly immobilized onto carboxylated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and then hybridized with biotin-dUTP products, followed by amplification with ligation-dependent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). After streptavidin-modified alkaline phosphatase (STV-AP) bonding and magnetic separation, the CL signals were then detected. Results showed that the quantification of PCR products could be reflected by CL signal values. Under optimum conditions, the CL system was characterized for quantitative analysis and the CL intensity exhibited a linear correlation with logarithm of the target concentration. To validate the methodology, copy numbers of six genes from the human genome were detected. To compare the detection accuracy, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and MNPs-CL detection were performed. Overall, there were two discrepancies by MLPA analysis, while only one by MNPs-CL detection. This research demonstrated that the novel MNPs-CL system is a useful analytical tool which shows simple, sensitive, and specific characters which are suitable for CNV analysis. Moreover, this system should be improved further and its application in the genome variation detection of various diseases is currently under further investigation.

Abstract
Background The null genotype of GSTM1 have been implicated in gastric cancer risk, but numerous individual studies showed mixed, or even conflicting results. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed. Results We identified 54 individual studies involving 9,322 cases and 15,118 controls through computer-based searches of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. It was found that the null genotype of GSTM1 was associated with an increased gastric cancer risk (OR = 1.207, 95% CI: 1.106-1.317, P < 0.001), under the random-effects model (I2 : 49.9%, PQ <0.001). From stratification analyses for ethnicity, alcohol drinking, Helicobacter pylori infection, an effect modification of gastric cancer risk was found in the subgroups of ethnicity, smoking status, Helicobacter pylori infection, whereas null result was found in the subgroups of alcohol drinking. We also undertook gene-gene interaction analysis between GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes for gastric cancer risk, and the results indicated that the dual null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 might elevate the risk of gastric cancer (OR = 1.505, 95% CI: 1.165-1.944, P = 002). Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that the null genotype of GSTM1 may be a important genetic risk factor for gastric cancer development.

Abstract
Background Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have proved to be involved in the detoxifying several carcinogens and may play an important role in carcinogenesis of cancer. Previous studies on the association between Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC) risk reported inconclusive results. To get a precise result, we conducted this present meta-analysis through pooling all eligible studies. Methods A comprehensive databases of Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) were searched for case–control studies investigating the association between GSTM1 null genotype and GC risk. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to assess this possible association. A χ2-based Q-test was used to examine the heterogeneity assumption. Begg’s and Egger’s test were used to examine the potential publication bias. The leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine whether our assumptions or decisions have a major effect on the results of present work. Statistical analyses were performed with the software program STATA 12.0. Results A total of 47 eligible case–control studies were identified, including 6,678 cases and 12,912 controls. Our analyses suggested that GSTM1 null genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of GC (OR = 1.186, 95% CI = 1.057-1.329, Pheterogenetiy = 0.000, P = 0.004). Significant association was also found in Asians (OR = 1.269, 95% CI = 1.106-1.455, Pheterogenetiy = 0.002, P = 0.001). However, GSTM1 null genotype was not contributed to GC risk in Caucasians (OR = 1.115, 95% CI = 0.937-1.326, Pheterogenetiy = 0.000, P = 0.222). In the subgroup analysis stratified by sources of controls, significant association was detected in hospital-based studies (OR = 1.355, 95% CI = 1.179-1.557, Pheterogenetiy = 0.001, P = 0.000), while there was no significant association detected in population-based studies (OR = 1.017, 95% CI = 0.862-1.200, Pheterogenetiy = 0.000, P = 0.840). Conclusion This meta-analysis showed the evidence that GSTM1 null genotype contributed to the development of GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Saudi population has experienced a sharp increase in colorectal and gastric cancer incidences within the last few years. The relationship between gene polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence has not previously investigated among the Saudi population. The aim of the present study was to investigate contributions of CYP1A1, CYP2E1, and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected from CRC patients and healthy controls and genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism and sequencing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS CYP2E1*6 was not significantly associated with CRC development (odd ratio=1.29; confidence interval 0.68-2.45). A remarkable and statistically significant association was observed among patients with CYP1Awt/*2A (odd ratio=3.65; 95% confidence interval 1.39-9.57). The GSTM1*0/*0 genotype was found in 2% of CRC patients under investigation. The levels of CYP1A1, CYP2E1 and GSTM1 mRNA gene expression were found to be 4, 4.2 and 4.8 fold, respectively, by quantitative real time PCR. The results of the present case-control study show that the studied Saudi population resembles Caucasians with respect to the considered polymorphisms. Investigation of genetic risk factors and susceptibility gene polymorphisms in our Saudi population should be helpful for better understanding of CRC etiology.

Abstract
A possible association of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) null/presence gene polymorphism and an increased risk of developing gastric carcinoma is still unclear and hotly debated. This investigation was performed to assess the association of the GSTT1 null/presence gene polymorphism with the risk of gastric carcinoma via a meta-analysis to increase sample size and statistical significance. PubMed, Cochrane Library and CBM-disc (China Biological Medicine Database) were searched on March 1, 2013, association reports were identified, and eligible studies were recruited and synthesized. Fifty-two reports were found to be suitable for this meta-analysis for the association of the GSTT1 null genotype with gastric carcinoma risk. The results showed that there was a significantly increased gastric carcinoma risk when the GSTT1 null genotype was present in the overall population (OR 1.21, 95 % CI 1.11-1.32, P < 0.0001), Caucasians (OR 1.25, 95 % CI 1.05-1.48, P = 0.01), East-Asians (OR 1.18, 95 % CI 1.06-1.31, P = 0.003), and Chinese (OR 1.24, 95 % CI 1.07-1.44, P = 0.005). However, no statistically relevant association could be established for the Indian ethnic group (OR 1.33, 95 % CI 0.94-1.90, P = 0.11). In conclusion, the GSTT1 null genotype is associated with an increased gastric carcinoma risk in the overall population, Caucasians, East-Asians, and Chinese.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The association between glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility is still controversial. In order to clarify the effect of GSTT1 genotype on the CRC risk, we carried out an updated meta-analysis of published case-control studies to provide more precise evidence. METHODS Two investigators independently searched the databases of Pubmed, EMBASE and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) up to October 15, 2012. Crude odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to investigate the strength of the association in a fixed- or random-effects model depending on statistical heterogeneity. RESULTS Forty-six case-control studies with 15,373 colorectal cancer cases and 21,238 controls were included. Overall, the pooled results indicated that GSTT1 null genotype was significantly associated with increased CRC risk (OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.10-1.33). When stratifying for ethnicity and control sources, we also observed positive association between GSTT1 null genotype and increased risk of CRC. When stratifying by the location, we found there was a statistically significant association in the rectal cancer (OR=1.28, 95% CI=1.01-1.64), but not in colon cancer (OR=1.27, 95% CI=0.94-1.73). Subgroup analyses for Dukes stage, histological differentiation of CRC and smoking habit did not reveal any significant differences in genotype distribution. In addition, we observed a strong correlation between increased CRC risk and the combined GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that the GSTT1 null genotype may contribute to increased risk of colorectal cancer. More well-designed studies based on larger population are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
Background Glutathione S-transferases M1 (GSTM1) is an important phase II metabolizing enzyme. The null genotype of GSTM1 causes total loss of GSTM1 enzyme activity and numerous studies have investigated the association between GSTM1 null genotype and gastric cancer risk. Methods This meta-analysis was designed to investigate the relationship between GSTM1 null genotype and susceptibility to gastric cancer and assess the influence of Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, Lauren’s classification, and other factors. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association strength. Results A total of 46 eligible studies were indentified and analyzed in this meta-analysis, including 8138 cases of gastric cancer and 13867 controls. Pooled results showed that the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of gastric cancer (OR=1.217, 95% CI: 1.113-1.331, Pheterogeneity<0.001). Sub-group analysis suggested that the significant association was only observed in Asians (OR=1.273, 95%: 1.137-1.426, Pheterogeneity = 0.002), but not in Caucasians. The increased risk was found among H. pylori positive population (OR=1.928, 95% CI: 1.028-3.615, Pheterogeneity=0.065), while no association was found among H. pylori negative population (OR=0.969, 95% CI: 0.618-1.521, Pheterogeneity=0.168). For smoking status, the GSTM1 null genotype increased risk of gastric cancer in both ever-smokers and non-smokers. Source of control, sample size, location of tumor and Lauren’s classification did not modify the association. Conclusions In this meta-analysis based on 46 epidemiological studies, we show that the GSTM1 null genotype is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer among Asians but not among Caucasians. H. pylori infection but not smoking status could modify the association.

Abstract
Allelic variant within genes encoding glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) has been suggested to be a possible risk factor of gastric cancer, but previous studies provide controversial results. This study aimed to assess the effects of GSTT1 polymorphism on gastric cancer by means of meta-analysis. We included published studies on the relationship between GSTT1 null allele and gastric cancer risk after searching electronic databases. A meta-analysis was conducted by calculating the pooled odds ratios (OR) and the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Forty-two studies with a total of 8,203 gastric cancer cases and 13,866 controls were included into this meta-analysis. When all 42 studies were pooled into this meta-analysis, there was a significant association between the GSTT1 null allele and gastric cancer risk (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.14-1.36, P < 0.00001). Sensitivity analysis by excluding individual studies showed that there was no effect on the pooled OR with 95% CI. After excluding studies with low quality, there was still a significant association between the GSTT1 null allele and gastric cancer risk (OR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.13-1.36, P < 0.00001). In the subgroup analysis, there was a significant association between the GSTT1 null allele and gastric cancer risk in both Europeans and Asians. There was no risk of publication bias in this meta-analysis. Our results suggest that GSTT1 null allele is associated with increased risk of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP2C19 encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, which play a central role in activating and detoxifying many carcinogens and endogenous compounds thought to be involved in the development of cancer. In the past decade, two common polymorphisms among CYP2C19 (CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3) that are responsible for the poor metabolizers (PMs) phenotype in humans and cancer susceptibility have been investigated extensively; however, these studies have yielded contradictory results. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate this inconsistency, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 11,554 cases and 16,592 controls from 30 case-control studies. Overall, the odds ratio (OR) of cancer was 1.52 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.23-1.88, P<10(-4)] for CYP2C19 PMs genotypes. However, this significant association vanished when the analyses were restricted to 5 larger studies (no. of cases ≥ 500 cases). In the subgroup analysis for different cancer types, PMs genotypes had an effect of increasing the risks of esophagus cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma as well as head neck cancer. Significant results were found in Asian populations when stratified by ethnicity; whereas no significant associations were found among Caucasians. Stratified analyses according to source of controls, significant associations were found only in hospital base controls. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggests that the CYP2C19 PMs genotypes most likely contributes to cancer susceptibility, particularly in the Asian populations.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) catalyzes reactions between glutathione and lipophilic compounds with electrophilic centers, leading to neutralization of toxic compounds, xenobiotics, and products of oxidative stress. In the past decade, a number of case-control studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the GSTT1 null polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC), but the results have been inconclusive. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of 46 studies involving a total of 9012 GC cases and 14,215 controls for null variant of the GSTT1 gene to evaluate the effect of GSTT1 on genetic susceptibility for GC. Potential sources of heterogeneity including ethnicity, source of control, and sample size were also assessed. Overall, significantly increased GC risk was associated with GSTT1 null polymorphism with OR of 1.20 (95% CI, 1.10-1.32; P < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased risks were found in East Asians and Indians, while no significant associations were found among Caucasian, and Middle Eastern and African populations. By pooling data from 19 studies that considered combinations of GSTT1 and GSTM1 genotypes, a statistically significant increased risk for GC (OR = 2.04, 95% CI, 1.49-2.64; P < 0.05) was detected for individuals with dual deletion in both genes compared with positive genotypes. In addition, we found that cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking may modified the association of GSTT1 null genotypes with the risk of GC. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that GSTT1 null polymorphism is associated with elevated GC risk, but these associations vary in different ethnic populations.

Abstract
AIM The incidence of stomach cancer in Mizoram is highest in India. We have conducted a population based matched case-control study to identify environmental and genetic risk factors in this geographical area. METHODS A total of 102 histologically confirmed stomach cancer cases and 204 matched healthy population controls were recruited. GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes were determined by PCR and H. pylori infections were determined by ELISA. RESULTS Tobacco-smoking was found to be an important risk factor for high incidence of stomach cancer in Mizoram. Meiziol (local cigarette) smoking was a more important risk factor than other tobacco related habits. Cigarette, tuibur (tobacco smoke infused water) and betel nut consumption synergistically increased the risk of stomach cancer. Polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were not found to be directly associated with stomach cancer in Mizoram. However, they appeared to be effect modifiers. Persons habituated with tobacco smoking and/or tuibur habit had increased risk of stomach cancer if they carried the GSTM1 null genotype and GSTT1 non-null genotype. CONCLUSION Tobacco smoking, especially meiziol is the important risk factor for stomach cancer in Mizoram. GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes modify the effect of tobacco habits. This study is a first step in understanding the epidemiology of stomach cancer in Mizoram, India.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association of glutathione S-transferases gene polymorphisms with the risk of gastric cancer, with reference to smoking and Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS We conducted a 1:1 matched case-control study with 410 gastric cancer cases and 410 cancer-free controls. Polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 were determined using PCR-CTPP. RESULTS The GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were significantly associated with the risk of gastric cancer after adjusting for potential confounding factors (OR=1.68, 95% CI=1.32-2.23 for null GSTM1, OR=1.73; 95% CI=1.24-2.13 for null GSTT1). The combination of null GSTM1 and null GSTT1 conferred an elevated risk (OR=2.54, 95% CI=1.55-3.39). However, no association was found for GSTP1 polymorphism The smoking modified the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes with the risk of gastric cancer. CONCLUSION GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes are associated with increased risk of gastric cancer, and smoking modifies the association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have proved to be involved in the detoxifying several carcinogens and may play an important role in carcinogenesis of cancer. Previous studies on the association between Glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) polymorphism and gastric cancer risk reported inconclusive results. To clarify the possible association, we conducted a meta-analysis of eligible studies. METHODS We searched in the Pubmed, Embase, and Wangfang Medicine databases for studies assessing the association between GSTT1 null genotype and gastric cancer risk. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated to assess the strength of the association. A total of 48 studies with a total of 24,440 individuals were ultimately eligible for meta-analysis. RESULTS Overall, GSTT1 null genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of gastric cancer (Random-effect OR = 1.23, 95%CI 1.13-1.35, P OR <0.001, I(2) = 45.5%). Significant association was also found in Caucasians, East Asians, and Indians (P Caucasians = 0.010; P East Asians = 0.003; P Indians = 0.017). After adjusting for other confounding variables, GSTT1 null genotype was also significantly associated with increased risk of gastric cancer (Random-effect OR = 1.43, 95%CI 1.20-1.71, P OR <0.001, I(2) = 48.1%). CONCLUSION The meta-analysis provides strong evidence for the significant association between GSTT1 null genotype and increased risk of gastric cancer.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2013; 35:265-269. [PMID: 23357602 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2013.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2012] [Revised: 12/29/2012] [Accepted: 01/02/2013] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Alterations in offspring sex ratio at birth and level of serum testosterone in filling-station workers have been reported. To determine the association of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) polymorphism with serum levels of total testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) of male filling-station workers, the present study was carried out on 114 gasoline workers and 100 age- and sex-matched controls with no occupational exposure to gasoline. We have found no significant difference between the workers and controls for levels of sex hormones in the presence of active GSTM1 genotype. Among subjects with the GSTM1 null genotype, there was significant difference between exposed and unexposed subjects for the concentration of testosterone (t=4.37, df=97, P<0.001). To investigate whether one null genotype could be compensated by an active genotype for the other isoenzyme, the mean concentrations of sex hormones was compared between the exposed and control groups with respect to their combinations of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes. The exposed group having either "null GSTM1/positive GSTT1" (t=2.76, df=72, P=0.007) or "null GSTM1/null GSTT1" (t=4.91, df=23, P<0.001) combinations had a lower testosterone compared with the controls. It seems that GSTM1 polymorphism has more effect on serum testosterone compared to the GSTT1 polymorphism, in exposed workers.

Abstract
Numerous studies were published to investigate the relationship between the glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) null genotype and risk of gastric cancer in Asians, but the conclusions from those studies were conflicting. To get a more precise estimation on the possible association, we performed a meta-analysis of published data. A comprehensive literature was conducted and 27 case-control studies with 14,905 individuals were finally included, involving a total of 6,270 cases and 8,635 controls. The strength of the association between GSTT1 polymorphism and gastric cancer risk was estimated by calculating the pooled odds ratio with its 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI). A meta-analysis of total 27 studies showed that GSTT1 null genotype was obviously associated with increased risk of gastric cancer in Asians (random effect odds ratio (OR) =1.29, 95 % CI 1.16-1.44, P OR<0.001). A subgroup analysis of 14 studies with large sample size also showed an obvious association between GSTT1 null genotype and increased risk of gastric cancer in Asians (fixed effect OR=1.14, 95 % CI 1.06-1.23, P OR=0.001). In conclusion, the meta-analysis suggests that null genotype of GSTT1 contributes to increased risk of gastric cancer in Asian population.

Abstract
There is substantial evidence found in the literature that supports the fact that the presence of oxidative stress may play an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) forms one of the major detoxifying groups of enzymes responsible for eliminating products of oxidative stress. Interindividual differences observed in the metabolism of xenobiotics have been attributed to the genetic polymorphism of genes coding for enzymes involved in detoxification. Thus, in this study we investigated the association of glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta-1 (GSTT1) gene deletion polymorphisms and schizophrenia in a Tunisian population. A case-control study including 138 schizophrenic patients and 123 healthy controls was enrolled. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms were analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). No association was found between the GSTM1 genotype and schizophrenia, whereas the prevalence of the GSTT1 active genotype was significantly higher in the schizophrenic patients (57.2%) than in the controls (45.5%) with (OR=0.6, IC 0.37-0.99, p=0.039). Thus, we noted a significant association between schizophrenia and GSTT1 active genotype. Furthermore, the combination of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes showed a non-significant trend to an increased risk of schizophrenia. The present finding indicated that GSTT1 seems to be a candidate gene for susceptibility to schizophrenia in at least Tunisian population.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases class zeta (GSTζ) is involved in the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds and catalyzes the biotransformation of a variety of α-haloacids including dichloroacetic acid and chlorofluoroacetic acid. It has been reported that, in mice, deficiency of Gstz1 (a member of GSTζ) resulted in the generation of a constant level of oxidative stress. The present study was carried out to investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms of GSTZ1 (in promoter site G-1002A and in coding sites Glu32Lys and Gly42Arg) and risk of breast cancer. We included 106 females with breast cancer and 106 healthy females frequency matched for age. The study polymorphisms were not associated with risk of breast cancer (p>0.05). The polymorphisms of GSTZ1 showed strong linkage disequilibrium among cancer patients and control subjects (p<0.0001). There was no significant difference between cancer patients and controls for frequencies of the GSTZ1 haplotypes (p>0.05). It seems there is no meaningful relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of GSTZ1 and risk of breast cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Difference in the capacity of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes might be an important factor in genetic susceptibility to cancer. METHODS A case control study involving forty one gastric cancer patients and one hundred and thirty controls was carried out to determine the frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes. The frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype was observed by carrying out multiplex PCR. RESULTS There was no difference in the frequencies of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null and the combined GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype between patients and control. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 status may not influence the risk of developing gastric cancer.

Abstract
Mutations in the genes encoding enzymes involved in the metabolism of chemical carcinogens can significantly affect the risk of cell transformation and cancer development. The resident Lebanese population has experienced a sharp increase in cancer incidence within the last few years. The relationship between gene polymorphisms of metabolic enzymes and gastrointestinal (GI) cancer incidence was not previously investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CYP1A1, CYP2E1, and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms and GI cancer incidence among Lebanese. Blood and/or paraffin-embedded biopsy samples were collected from patients and healthy controls. The genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The results of the present case-control study show that the studied Lebanese population generally resembles Caucasian populations with respect to the considered polymorphisms. Further, the GSTM1*0/*0 genotype is a significant risk factor for gastric (odds ratio = 4.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.2-14.5) and colorectal cancers (odds ratio = 3.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.7-8.5); on the other hand, CYP1A1*2A and CYP2E1*6 alone are not significantly associated with GI cancer development, although CYP1A1*2A was more frequent among patients. A remarkable and statistically significant 36.5-fold increase in the risk of gastric cancer was observed among patients with CYP1A1*2A/*2A combined with GSTM1*0/*0. The investigation of genetic risk factors and susceptibility gene polymorphisms in Lebanese is helpful for better understanding of GI cancer etiology.

Abstract
Relationship of gastric cancer with the GSTM1 polymorphism was reported with inconsistent results. The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the association between GSTM1 polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility. Relevant studies were identified from PubMed and references of retrieved articles. A meta-analysis was performed, which included 38 studies with 6,605 gastric cancer cases and 11,311 controls. The combined result based on all studies showed there was a significant link between GSTM1 null genotype and gastric cancer (OR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.08-1.34). When stratifying for the race, the phenomenon was found that gastric cancer case had a significantly higher frequency of GSTM1 null genotype than control in Asians (OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.10-1.47). However, there was not enough evidence to show there was a significant difference in GSTM1 null genotype distribution between gastric cancer case and control in Caucasians (OR=1.13, 95%CI: 0.96-1.32). This meta-analysis indicated that GSTM1 null genotype might be associated with increased gastric cancer risk in Asians. However, this meta-analysis did not provide an evidence of confirming association between GSTM1 polymorphism and gastric cancer in Caucasians.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases are ubiquitous multifunctional enzymes, which play a key role in cellular detoxification. The present case-control study was performed in Shiraz, Iran to investigate the association between polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferases M1 (GSTM1) and T1 (GSTT1) and susceptibility to bipolar disorder (BPD). A total of 228 BPD patients participated in the study. In addition, 236 healthy blood donors, who frequency matched with the patients according to age and gender, were also studied as a control group. Statistical analysis revealed that polymorphisms of neither GSTM1 (OR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.50-1.05) nor GSTT1 (OR=0.98, 95% CI: 0.65-1.47) were associated with risk of BPD. Patients were stratified according to their age of onset into early onset (below 19 years old) and late onset (more than 19 years old) groups. Among the early onset group, the GSTM1 null genotype decreases the risk of BPD (OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.24-0.79). Further analysis showed that a combination of "GSTM1 positive genotype and GSTT1 null genotype" versus "positive genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1" increased the risk of BPD (OR=2.28, 95% CI: 1.07-4.85). However, there was no significant association between the study polymorphisms and risk of BPD among the late onset group. The present finding indicated that GSTM1 and GSTT1 are candidate polymorphisms for susceptibility to BDP among adolescents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST) comprises multiple isoenzymes that catalyze reactions between glutathione and lipophilic compounds with electrophilic centers, resulting in the neutralization of toxic compounds, xenobiotics, and products of oxidative stress. Several studies have examined whether GST polymorphisms (GSTM1 null/present genotype, GSTT1 null/present genotype, and GSTP1 Ile105Val) represent risk factors for ovarian cancer, as they all may denote reduced enzyme activity. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the associations between the aforementioned polymorphisms and ovarian cancer risk. METHODS The MEDLINE database was searched up to September 2009 using the appropriate terms. Case-control studies with no mutually overlapping populations were selected. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were appropriately derived from fixed-effects or random-effects models. Meta-regression with publication year was also performed. RESULTS Eight studies regarding GSTM1 null polymorphism status (2357 cases and 3044 controls), 6 studies concerning GSTT1 null polymorphism (1923 cases and 2759 controls), and 3 studies on GSTP1 Ile105Val were included in the meta-analysis. The GSTM1 null genotype was not associated with an increased risk for ovarian cancer (pooled OR, 1.031; 95% confidence interval, 0.867-1.226; random effects). The GSTT1 null genotype was not associated with an increased ovarian cancer risk (pooled OR, 0.934; 95% confidence interval, 0.804-1.086; random effects); similarly, no significant associations were demonstrated for GSTP1 Ile105Val. CONCLUSIONS The examined GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genotype polymorphisms do not seem to confer any additional risk for ovarian cancer. Given that the studies included in this meta-analysis involve mainly white populations, these results cannot be extrapolated on other populations, and additional data are needed for future race-specific analyses.

Abstract
PURPOSE Studies investigating the association between genetic polymorphism of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) and gastric cancer risk have reported conflicting results. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to provide more precise evidence. METHODS We searched the databases Medline, PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure up to July 30, 2009. Thirty-six studies with 4,357 gastric cancer cases and 9,796 controls were selected. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated based on fixed- and random-effects models. RESULTS The combined results based on all studies showed there was a significant link between GSTT1 null genotype and gastric cancer risk (OR = 1.14, 95%CI = 1.01-1.28). In subgroup analysis stratified on the basis of ethnic group, we also observed positive association between GSTT1 polymorphism and gastric cancer risk among Caucasians (non-Europeans + non-Americans), but not among East Asians. When stratifying by control source, the overall ORs for population- and hospital-based studies were 1.09 (95%CI = 0.94-1.28) and 1.17 (95%CI = 1.03-1.34), respectively. Subjects with both GSTM1 and GSTT1 negative genotypes had increased gastric cancer risk compared with those who had nonnull genotypes of both GST genes. Subgroup analyses for Helicobacter pylori infection and smoking habit did not reveal any significant association between GSTT1 polymorphism and gastric cancer development. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that GSTT1 gene polymorphism may be not associated with increased gastric cancer risk among Europeans, Americans, and East Asians. More large-scale studies based on the same racial group are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play multiple roles in the pathogenesis and treatment of cancer. Studies investigating the association between Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null genotype and gastric cancer risk report conflicting results. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such a relationship. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 35 studies, which included 4,505 gastric cancer cases and 9,062 controls. The combined results based on all studies showed that the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (OR = 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02, 1.29). When stratifying for race, results were similar among Asians (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.07, 1.44) except Caucasians (OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.88, 1.24). When stratifying by the location, stage, Lauren's classification, histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis, smoking, and Helicobacter pylori infection of gastric cancer, we observed that patients with diffuse classification had a significantly higher frequency null genotype (OR = 4.80, 95% CI = 1.65,13.94) than those with intestinal classification among Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that the GSTM1 null genotype may be associated with gastric cancer among Asians.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered to be a multifactorial disease, in which multiple exposures to endogenous factors interact with individual genetic background in a complex manner, resulting in modulation of the risk. The glutathione S-transferase M1 gene (GSTM1) is a particularly attractive candidate for CRC susceptibility because it codes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of environmental carcinogens. However, the epidemiological findings have been inconsistent. METHODS To evaluate this association, we performed an extensive meta-analysis of 36 case-control studies (including 10,009 cases and 15,070 controls). RESULTS Overall, the combined data showed that GSTM1 deficiency is associated with a marginal effect on CRC risk (odds ratio [OR] = 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.23; P for heterogeneity <0.001). When stratified by race and tumor site, significant results were only observed in Caucasians (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.01-1.27; P for heterogeneity <0.001), whereas no increased risk was detected in other subgroups. CONCLUSIONS The findings of our study support the suggestion that GSTM1 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of CRC, especially in the Caucasian population. Further investigation into the association between GSTM1 polymorphism and the risk of CRC is warranted and should include larger sample sizes and other genetic polymorphisms in metabolism of environmental carcinogens.

Abstract
To clarify the association between XRCC1 haplotypes and susceptibility to breast cancer, a meta-analysis of case-control studies were conducted. Eligible studies were identified by searching several databases for relevant reports published before March 2010. In total, 10 studies were included in the present meta-analysis. XRCC1 haplotypes for Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms were included in the analysis. The association was measured using random-effect model or fixed-effect model odds ratio (OR) combined with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) according to the between studies' heterogeneity. Large between-study heterogeneity was observed (Q = 25.587, df = 9, P < 0.001). The meta-analysis showed a borderline increased risk of breast cancer associated with the Arg194-Gln399 haplotype versus the Arg194-Arg399 haplotype (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.01-1.14). There was no significant association between XRCC1 haplotypes and risk of breast cancer among Caucasoid subjects. In the next step, studies were classified according to geographical locations. Studies reported form Western populations did not show heterogeneity, and the Arg194-Gln399 haplotype was not associated with risk of breast cancer in comparison with the Arg194-Arg399 haplotype (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.95-1.09). Among studies reported form Asian countries, significant heterogeneity was observed. After excluding of one study which did not show linkage disequilibrium, heterogeneity between studies decreased and haplotype Arg194-Gln399 revealed significant association with increased risk of breast cancer compared with haplotype Arg194-Arg399 (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.04-1.50). There was no significant association between Trp194-Arg399 haplotype and risk of breast cancer, neither in Western nor Asian countries. The present meta-analysis has indicated that the Arg194-Gln399 haplotype of XRCC1 might be a risk factor for breast cancer in Asian countries.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) catalyse reactions between glutathione and lipophilic compounds with electrophilic centres, leading to neutralisation of toxic compounds, xenobiotics and products of oxidative stress. Controversy exists about whether GST polymorphisms (GSTM1 null/present genotype, GSTT1 null/present genotype, GSTP1 Ile105Val and GSTA1 *A/*B) represent risk factors for colorectal cancer. This meta-analysis aims to examine the associations between the above-mentioned polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk. Forty-four studies were eligible for GSTM1 (11,998 colorectal cancer cases, 17,552 controls), 34 studies for GSTT1 (8596 cases, 13,589 controls), 19 studies for GSTP1 (5421 cases, 7671 controls) and four studies for GSTA1 polymorphism (1648 cases, 2039 controls). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were appropriately derived from fixed-effects or random-effects models. Separate analyses were conducted on Caucasian and Chinese populations. Where appropriate, sensitivity analysis concerning the deviation of genotype frequencies in controls from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was performed. GSTM1 null allele carriers exhibited increased colorectal cancer risk in Caucasian populations (pooled OR=1.150, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.060-1.248, random effects); no significant association was detected for Chinese subjects (pooled OR=1.025, 95% CI: 0.903-1.163, fixed effects). Similarly, GSTT1 null allele carriers exhibited increased colorectal cancer risk in Caucasian populations (pooled OR=1.312, 95% CI: 1.119-1.538, random effects); the association in Chinese subjects was not significant (pooled OR=1.068, 95% CI: 0.788-1.449, random effects). Concerning GSTP1 Ile105Val no significant associations were demonstrated in either race. GSTA1 *A/*B polymorphism was not associated with colorectal cancer risk. GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes confer additional risk for colorectal cancer in Caucasian populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION GSTT1 status has been extensively studied as a colorectal cancer risk factor. However, the results are inconsistent. To examine this controversy, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between GSTT1 polymorphism and colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature search using PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and HuGNet database to February 2009, with no restrictions. All articles were independent and contained the minimum information necessary to estimate the colorectal cancer risk associated with GSTT1 null. Summary odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effect or fixed-effect models based on the heterogeneity of included studies. RESULTS A total of 23 case-control studies, including a total of 11,057 subjects (5,058 cases and 5,999 controls), that related to GSTT1 polymorphism and risk of colorectal cancer were identified and included for analysis. The random-effect meta-analyses of all the 23 studies suggested that there was a small increased risk of colorectal cancer for individuals with GSTT1 null (OR was 1.23; 95% CI 1.02-1.49; I (2) = 76.9%, P for heterogeneity <0.001). The fixed-effect meta-analyses reached a similar results in Caucasians populations of ten studies (OR = 1.39; 95% CI 1.21-1.59; I (2) = 29.8%, P for heterogeneity = 0.171) and Asians populations of five studies (OR = 1.23; 95% CI 1.04-1.45; I (2) = 0.0%, P for heterogeneity = 0.428), with as inversely association in the other ethnic populations from four studies (OR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.54-0.877; I (2) = 0.0%, P for heterogeneity = 0.58). CONCLUSION There was a small increased risk of colorectal cancer for individuals with GSTT1 null, especially for Caucasians populations and Asian populations.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the association of glutathione S-transferase mu (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta (GSTT1) null genotypes with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) in a South Korean population.
METHODS: We conducted a population-based, large-scale case-control study including 2213 GCs, 1829 CRCs, and 1699 controls. Null and non-null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 were determined using real-time PCR.
RESULTS: The null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 were not significantly associated with elevated risk of gastric (OR = 1.070, 95% CI = 0.935-1.224; OR = 1.101, 95% CI = 0.963-1.259, respectively) or colorectal cancer (OR = 1.065, 95% CI = 0.923-1.228; OR = 1.041, 95% CI = 0.903-1.200, respectively). The frequency of the combined null GST genotype was not different between the two cancer groups and controls. Moreover, smoking, drinking, and age did not modify the association between these genotypes and the risk of gastric or colorectal cancer.
CONCLUSION: GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were not associated with increased risk of GC or CRC in Koreans.
