Hematological indices of end-stage chronic renal failure patients in Sudan: With or without iron supplements.

Age- and gender-independent association of glutathione S-transferase null polymorphisms with chronic myeloid leukemia.

The glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes encode enzymes that mediate the detoxification of xenobiotics by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) to xenobiotic substrates. The aim of the current study is to investigate the association between GSTT1 and GSTM1 polymorphisms and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) among Sudanese patients. Patients with CML (n = 115) were recruited to the study from the Radiation and Isotope Centre Khartoum (RICK)-Sudan.
