The genetic polymorphisms of biotransformation phase I enzymes, cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1 and CYP2D6), and phase II enzymes, glutathione S-transferase (GSTM1 and GSTT1), were analyzed in 204 healthy persons and 348 leukemia patients, who suffered from also acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), from the Han ethnic group in Changsha City of Hunan Province of China. Our results showed that the frequencies of polymorphisms of CYP1A1, CYP2D6 and GSTT1 among the groups including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ANLL, chronic myelogenous leukemia and healthy control have no significant differences. The variation of GSTM1-null genotype alone correlated with the development of ANLL. The combined genotypes of GSTM1-null with GSTT1-null, or GSTM1-null with CYP1A1 heterozygous mutant, or GSTM1-null with CYP1A1 heterozygous mutant and CYP2D6 heterozygous mutant, or GSTM1-null with CYP1A1 heterozygous mutant, CYP2D6 heterozygous mutant and GSTT1-null were found in individuals with high risk of ANLL. All these findings suggest that GSTM1-null genotype alone or in coordination with the relevant genotypes of other metabolic enzymes might be susceptibility factors in the etiology of ANLL.
