Association between glutathione S-transferase T1 null genotype and risk of lung cancer: a meta-analysis of 55 studies

Abstract: The relationship between glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer from the published reports are still conflicting. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between GSTT1 polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer. A comprehensive research was conducted through the databases, and 55 studies were recruited into this meta-analysis for the association of null genotype of GSTT1 with lung cancer susceptibility, consisting of 15,140 patients with lung cancer and 1… Show more

“…Overall there was an eight-fold difference in urinary SPMA at baseline between subjects who had both or neither GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes. The deletion polymorphism of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes is associated with increased risk of many malignancies including lung cancer (33), particularly in smokers (34). The present study demonstrates that smokers lacking both GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes may derive the most benefit from intake of PEITC due to their increased detoxification of carcinogens and toxicants.…”

“…Second, we did not consider whether the genotype distribution in the controls was in HWE for GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphism because we cannot calculate the HWE on both genes. The current study also has several advantages over previously published meta-analyses [15–29,31–50] . First, the sample size was larger.…”

“…Gao et al [ 18 ] on the combined effects of GSTM1 present/null and GSTT1 present/null polymorphisms with LC risk will be considered as “positive” result in the overall population, Ye et al [ 15 ] on the GSTM1 null genotype with LC risk in all races, Liu et al [ 41 ] on the GSTM1 null genotype with LC risk in Chinese populations, and Xu et al [ 33 ] on the GSTP1 IIe105Val polymorphism with LC risk will be considered as “positive” results because their studies represent the most credible findings. Li et al, [ 28 ] Sengupta et al, [ 50 ] Yang et al, [ 19 ] Yang et al, [ 34 ] Wang et al, [ 40 ] and Feng et al [ 21 ] will be classified as less-credible results (higher heterogeneity, lower statistical power, FPRP > 0.2 and BFDP > 0.8).…”

“…GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype lost enzymatic functional activity, therefore, may increase the risk of lung cancer. To date, a series of previous meta-analysis have only focused on the association between single GSTM1 or GSTT1 gene polymorphism and lung cancer risk [1214, 63, 64]. However, the combined effect of GSTM1 and GSTT1 has not been reported previously.…”
