“…We found ever smokers with a 2.5 fold more risk of bladder cancer with twice higher heterozygote frequency in cases than in controls (27% versus 13.4%: p>0.05). Similar sort of results are shared by many studies confirming smoking as risk factor in GSTP1 A>G polymorphism (Törüner 2001;Rama et al, 2005). Significant association of bladder carcinoma increased with patients >50 years of age with OR 2.50 (0.89-6.98), consistent with other studies (Brauers et al, 2000: Coa et al, 2005.…”

“…The summary should not be regarded as a representative review of the literature. Further details and references to original sources can be found in reviews [4,6,7] and in the references quoted in more recent accounts [26,[44][45][46][47]. 2 The risks quoted are the odds ratios associated with the specified alleles.…”
