GSTM1 and GSTT1 Gene Deletions and the Risk for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in Han Chinese

Abstract: Southern China is a major nasopharyngeal carcinomaendemic region. Environmental factors and genetic susceptibility contribute to nasopharyngeal carcinoma development in this area. Polymorphic deletions of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes involved in the detoxification of potentially carcinogenic agents may be a risk factor for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. To investigate the roles of genetic variations of GSTM1 and GSTT1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma susceptibility in the Chinese population, we conducted a case-control study o… Show more

“…Subsequent to performing a careful search, 322 potentially relevant publications were identified. Based on the inclusion criteria, 8 studies (5 for p53 and 3 for GSTM1) (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32) were eligible for this meta-analysis. A flow diagram describing the selection process for the eligible studies is shown in Fig.…”

“…In the case of the assessment of the quality of the included studies, as shown in Table II, 2 were identified as 'low quality' (25,26), and 3 were identified as 'high quality' (27)(28)(29). As shown in Table III, all the studies were identified as 'high quality' (30)(31)(32) Fig. 2).…”

“…Similarly, there was no association between this type of neoplasia and the null combined genotypes null GSTT1 and null GSTM1, as observed by Singh et al 7 On the other hand, a Chinese study has shown a correlation between the double null genotype GSTT1 and GSTM1 with nasopharynx cancer among men. 44 With respect to the relation between genes deletion and specific anatomic sites, Duarte et al 25 found an association between the GSTM1 null genotype and the increase in risk of development of leukoplasia in the oral cavity. On the other hand, in our study we have identified a relation between the occurrence of larynx carcinoma with GSTT1 null genotype and, on the contrary, a protective effect of this genotype in the pharynx.…”

“…However, the distribution of this cancer is highly skewed, the highest incidence rates seen in China and Southeast Asian region (Cheng et al, 2003). The NPC is most prevalent in Chinese and Malaya population and is a leading cause of death among Cantonese in Southern China (Guo et al, 2003).…”

“…Besides, Chinese foods such as salt-cured fish and smoke-dried meat which while cooking aerosolize carcinogenic nitrosamines that are subsequently inhaled may also pose a risk of developing NPC (Guo et al, 2003). Despite many individuals being exposed to these risk factors, only a minority of them develop NPC.…”
