Erratum to Association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 Polymorphism with Lipid Peroxidation in Benign Prostate Hyperplasia and Prostate Cancer: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Association of Human GSTM1 and GSTT1 Genes Polymorphisms with Prostate Tumors in Population of the South Provinces of Iraq

“…On the other hand, GSTT1 enzyme is reported to be involved in metabolism of potentially carcinogenic dichloromethane, ethylene oxide, and acrolien, a compound found in tobacco and associated with lung cancer (Kumar et al,2011). Since GSTM1and GSTT1 genes are reported to be deleted causing a loss in enzymatic activity of these isoenzymes deletion of both genes concomitantly might lead to more susceptibility for various cancers as well as that of prostate.…”

Genetic Polymorphisms of Glutathione S-transferase M1 and Prostate Cancer Risk in Asians: A Meta-analysis of 18 Studies

“…All reports selected prostate cancer patients based on a histologic diagnosis from biopsy or prostatectomy. Among the eligible studies, three articles contained separate data on two different control groups (Ashtiani et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2011;Thakur et al, 2011). One article provided data on both blood and tissue samples from the same subjects (Mittal et al, 2006), to avoid overlapping, only the data of blood samples were included.…”

“…Of these studies, 9 reported on Caucasians, and 9 reported on East Asians. Studies were carried out in Japan (Murata et al, 2001;Nakazato et al, 2003;Komiya et al, 2005), China (Guan et al, 2005;Lai et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2005;Yang et al, 2006;Li et al, 2008), India ( Vijayalakshmi et al, 2005;Srivastava et al, 2005;Mittal et al, 2006;Thakur et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2011), South Korea (Kwon et al, 2011), Iran (Ashtiani et al, 2011;Safarinejad et al, 2011) and Turkey (Aktas et al, 2004;Silig et al, 2006). A list of details abstracted from the studies included in the meta-analysis is provided through Table 1.…”

The GSTT1 Null Genotype Contributes to Increased Risk of Prostate Cancer in Asians: a Meta-analysis

“…With our search criterion, 67 individual records were found, and 11 studies with a total of 3,118 subjects were finally included into this meta-analysis (Murata et al, 2001;Nakazato et al, 2003;Mittal et al, 2004;Komiya et al, 2005;Srivastava et al, 2005;Mittal et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2006;Ashtiani et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2011;Kwon et al, 2011;Thakur et al, 2011). All included studies were English language literature.…”

“…All included studies were English language literature. Among these 11 case-control studies, 6 (75.0%) were from India (Mittal et al, 2004;Srivastava et al, 2005;Mittal et al, 2006;Ashtiani et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2011;Thakur et al, 2011), and 3 (12.5%) were from Japan (Murata et al, 2001;Nakazato et al, 2003;Komiyaet al, 2005), 1 from Korea (Kwon DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2012.13.6.2635 …”
