Objectives: Data from several studies suggest that oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of tardive dyskinesia (TD). Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes play important roles in protecting cells against oxidative stress. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that polymorphisms in genes for these detoxifying enzymes can influence susceptibility to TD in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: The GST-M1, GST-T1, and GST-P1 loci were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods in 83 schizophrenic patients with TD and 126 schizophrenic without TD who were matched for antipsychotic drug exposure and other relevant variables. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) approach was used to analyze gene-gene interactions.
Results: There were no significant differences in the distributions of the GST-M1, GST-T1, and GST-P1 genotypes between the TD and non-TD groups (p > 0.05). However, in comparison of the severity of TD among genotypes using Poisson regression showed that Ile/Ile genotype of GST-P1 had higher AIMS score compared to Ile/Val + Val/Val genotypes (X(2) = 7.13, p = 0.008). MDR analysis did not show a significant interaction between the three GST gene variants and susceptibility to TD (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: These results suggest that GST gene polymorphisms do not confer increased susceptibility to TD in patients with schizophrenia but TD severity might be related with GST-P1 variants.

Genetic Polymorphisms and Genetic Risk Scores Contribute to the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in a North Indian Population.
Int J Mol Sci

Department of Human Genetics, Punjabi University, Patiala 147002, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health issue in India, and this study looked at ten genetic polymorphisms affecting oxidative stress, blood pressure, and lipid metabolism in the Jat Sikh population to understand their link to CAD risk.
- - The research found that seven of these polymorphisms, specifically M235T, T174M, and A1166C, showed significant associations with increased CAD risk, with some haplotypes linked to higher risk even when accounting for other factors.
- - A higher polygenic risk score indicated a nearly double risk of developing CAD, highlighting important genetic factors for potential clinical and public health strategies in preventing and managing coronary artery disease.

Background: Functional variants of glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-M1, GST-T1, p53 might modulate brain cancer risk by altering the rate of metabolism and clearance of carcinogens from the brain tissue. In this study, the role of GST-M1, GST-T1, p53 polymorphisms on brain tumor was investigated.
Methods And Results: Brain tumor tissues of 143 patients were obtained from the Gulhane Training and Research Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery between 2019 and 2020.
Genetic polymorphisms in phase II metabolizing enzymes in alcoholic and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis: Indian scenario.
Indian J Gastroenterol

Department of Gastroenterology and Human Nutrition Unit, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, 110 029, India.
Aim: To study polymorphisms in glutathione-S-transferases (GST-T1, GST-M1, GST-P1) and uridine-5'-diphosphate-glucuronosyl-transferases (UGT1A7) genes and the risk of developing chronic pancreatitis (CP) associated with these polymorphisms.
Methods: This study included 49 alcoholic and 51 idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients, 50 alcohol addicts and 50 healthy controls. Polymorphism(s) in GST-T1 and GST-M1 genes were assessed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), while PCR-radiofrequency lesioning (RFLP) was employed to assess the same in GST-P1 and UGT1A7 genes.

Background: Anti-TB drugs are most common cause of idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity worldwide. Reactive metabolite formed during drug metabolism has been involved in a clinical toxicity are described as 'idiosyncratic' drug induce liver injury (DILI). We have observed the distribution of glutathione S -transferase (GST) gene polymorphism & its association with drug-induced liver injury in patients taking anti-tubercular treatment.

Background: Myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Oxidative stress plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis leading to myocardial infarction and Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) act as detoxifying enzymes to reduce oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations of the GST (T1 & M1) gene polymorphism with the susceptibility of myocardial infarction in the Bangladeshi population.
