## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate associations between genetic variability in specific Glutathione __S__βtransferases (__GST__) genes (__GSTM1__, __GSTT1__ and __GSTP1__) and susceptibility to breast cancer. Genotypes of blood specimen DNA were determined for 65 women with incide
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) belong to a superfamily of detoxification enzymes that provide critical defences against a large variety of chemical carcinogens and environmental toxicants. GSTs are present in most epithelial tissues of the human gastrointestinal tract. We investigated association
## Abstract Reasons for the recent trend of increasing breast cancer incidence among Chinese and other Asian women are not well understood. Endogenous estrogen levels are strongly associated with breast cancer risk and its determinants include both genetic and lifestyle factors. We conducted a nest
