Proportion of the GSTM 10/0 genotype in some Slavic populations and its correlation with cystic fibrosis and some multifactorial diseases

Abstract: A homozygous gene deletion at the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) locus of genomic DNA from blood spots was studied by PCR in the group of Slavic populations from the north-western and central-eastern regions of European Russia and in patients with lung cancer (LC), other tumors (OT), endometriosis (E), alcoholic cirrhosis (AC), cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic bronchitis (CB). The frequencies of the GSTM1 0/0 genotype were 38.8% and 67.5% for both population groups, respectively. The proportion of the GS… Show more

“…These have included, among many, ␣ 1 -antitrypsin (SERPINA1) (34), ␤ 2 -adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) (35), glutathione S-transferase (GSTM1) (36), nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) (37), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) (38), and gluatamate-cysteine-ligase (GCLC) (39). All have been identified in these studies as potentially modifying pulmonary phenotype in CF.…”

“…The homozygous GSTM1 null genotype has been associated with greater lung disease severity and decreased survival in CF patients, (9)(10)(11)13) although there are conflicting data. (12) In addition, we found that the inherited absence of the GSTM1 (9) and GSTT1 (11,12) enzymes was not associated with the severity of pancreatic or lung disease. Although the absence of these GST proteins might have altered the clinical function of our CF patients, their influence might not have been strong enough to be detected in our sample.…”

“…(6) The severity of pulmonary disease in CF seems to be influenced by other mutations located out of the CFTR gene locus, (7,8) such as the those occurring in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes. (9)(10)(11)(12)(13) Glutathione is a major local pulmonary antioxidant that is present in the epithelial lining fluid. The GST enzymes detoxify harmful organic hydroperoxides that are formed as a result of exposure to oxidant stress, such as those found in the lungs of patients with CF, (14) by conjugating them with glutathione, thereby potentially preventing further pulmonary damage.…”
