Polymorphic Variation in Glutathione-S-transferase Genes and Risk of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in the Kashmiri Population

Abstract: Cancer is a complex disease and the genetic susceptibility to it could be an outcome of the inherited difference in the capacity of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are phase II metabolizing enzymes whose various genotypes have been associated with increased risk of different types of cancer. Null mutations caused by the deletion of the entire gene result in the absence of the enzymatic activity and increase in the risk of developing cancer including chronic myeloid leukaemia … Show more

“…These findings are consistent with previous association studies that demonstrated GSTM1/null and GSTP1/GG are predisposing factors to CML susceptibility (Bănescu et al, ; Kagita Sailaja, Rao, Rao, & Vishnupriya, ). Similar results with our findings were clearly described regarding increased risk of CML for the GSTM1/null genotype by Bhat et al (), Lordelo et al () and Al‐Achkar et al (). In contrast, several studies suggested that GSTM1 may not be predisposing factor for CML risk (Taspinar et al, ; Weich et al, ).…”

“…Tobacco appears to be a risk factor (Balasubramaniam et al, 2013). and null genotypes of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes may confer elevated risk of chronic myeloid leukaemia (Bhat et al, 2012), implying carcinogen involvement. It is of clear intest that earlier studies of breast cancer showed highest incidences where pollution was highest, including Pavlodar (Bilyalova et al, 2012).…”

“…A number of studies reported that for CML, percentage of male is more than female (Bhat et al, 2012;Chavan et al, 2006;Irfan and Bhurgri, 2009;Usmani et al, 2009) and also the mean age for the patients is around between 40 to 50 years (Chavan et al, 2006;Irfan and Bhurgri, 2009;Bhat et al, 2012) that our study confirmed these results, but in other study (Usman et al, 2007), the median age at time of diagnosis was 33 years. These results show that percentage of males is more than females for CML and also the mean age and median age at diagnosis for the patients in majority of studies is around 40-50 years.…”

“…The known genetic abnormality associated with CML is the condition known as Philadelphia chromosome, which occurs as a result of reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22 leading to juxta-position of BCR-ABL gene (Bhat et al, 2012).…”
