Letter to the Editor: Gluthathion S-transferase M1 and T1 polymorpisms in a group of Romanian glaucoma patients

Genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S transferase and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

“…Among these, genetic polymorphisms of GST genes were intensely studied in relationship to chronic hrHPV infections and cervical cancer, but results are still inconclusive even if large populations with different ethnicities were included (27,28). GST polymorphisms have been previously analyzed in study lots from Transylvania in relationship with other pathologies such as glaucoma and lung cancer (29,30).…”

Influence of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms on the appearance of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

“…We wish to provide some perspectives with regard to an article recently published in your journal on polymorpisms of Gluthathion S-transferase in glaucoma patients [1]. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a group of genes, the polymorphisms of which have been reported to be also associated with an increased risk for Diabetes Mellitus (DM) [2], malignant diseases [3], and diabetic retinopathy [4].…”
