Association between null Genotypes of glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus: A meta-analysis
Mostafa Saadat
Abstract:Oxidative stress is involved in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is well known that activity of the glutathione S-transferase superfamily has a protective effect against oxidative stress. Several studies have investigated the association between the GSTT1/GSTM1 polymorphisms and the risk of SLE with inconsistent results. The present meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between susceptibility to SLE and the null genotypes of GSTT1 and GSTM1. Eligible publications w… Show more
