Background: The aim of this study was to investigate a possible association of the CYP1A1 Ile462Val and GSTM1 null polymorphisms with the risk of developing bladder cancer in a Turkish population.
Patients And Methods: The study constituted 176 patients with bladder cancer and 97 healthy individuals. Evaluation of CYP1A1 Ile462Val gene polymorphism was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). GSTM1 null gene polymorphism was exclusively determined by PCR. Our results were examined by statistical analyses.
Results: There were no significant differences in CYP1A1 genotype frequencies between patients and controls. Furthermore, the frequency of GSTM1 null genotype was higher in patients compared to controls, but it did not reach significance (p=0.622 χ(2)=0.243 OR=0.94 95% CI=0.75-1.18). Significance was discovered in combined analysis of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 genotypes. In the present study, GSTM1 null genotype with CYP1A1 Ile/Ile genotype combination was significantly more frequent in the patient group than in controls (p=0,04, χ(2)=4.217). At the same time, possessing both GSTM1 null genotype and CYP1A1 Val variants (Ile/Val+Val/Val) were significantly higher in control group than in patients (p=0.017, χ(2)=5.468). When the pathological tumor grades were assessed, the frequency of CYP1A1 Val mutant variant with GSTM1 null genotype combination was higher in patients with medium and high-grade tumors than in those with low-grade tumors (p=0.06, χ(2)=3.527, OR=1.36 95% CI=1.03-1.78).
Conclusion: We suggest that the CYP1A1 Ile/Ile genotype with GSTM1 null genotype combination may contribute to the development of bladder cancer in this Turkish population.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease, with its own clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics, which mainly affects premature newborns, resulting from a combination of factors that include immaturity, inflammation and lung injury, in addition to therapy with mechanical ventilation and exposure to high concentrations of oxygen. However, even with advances in care for critically ill newborns, BPD continues to be a challenge for the care team and family members. This has been identified as one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality due to prematurity, and can have significant impacts on the quality of life of the affected patients.

Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor in adults, comprising one-third of all primary adult CNS tumors. Although several recent publications have identified molecular alterations in meningioma including characteristic mutations, copy number alterations, and gene expression signatures, our understanding of the drivers of meningioma recurrence is limited.
Objective: To identify gene expression signatures of 1p22qNF2 meningioma recurrence, with concurrent biallelic inactivation of and loss of chr1p that are heterogenous but enriched for recurrent meningiomas.

This genetic association study including 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 166 non-diabetic individuals aimed to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 (gene deletion), GSTP1 (rs1695), ACE (rs4646994), ACE2 (rs2285666), VEGF-A (rs28357093), and MTHFR (rs1801133) with the development of T2DM in the population of Goiás, Brazil. Additionally, the combined effects of these polymorphisms and the possible differences between sexes in susceptibility to the disease were evaluated. Finally, machine learning models were integrated to select the main risk characteristics for the T2DM diagnosis.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a significant role in carcinogen detoxification, and hence, polymorphisms of this gene may lead to lung cancer susceptibility. Accordingly, this study is aimed at investigating GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms' association with lung cancer risk and their effects on the toxicities of platinum-based chemotherapy used to treat Bangladeshi lung cancer patients. The study subjects comprised 180 lung cancer patients and 200 healthy volunteers.

Deletions of the GSTT1 and GSTM1 are associated with chemical carcinogenesis and genitourinary malignancies like bladder cancer, where they correlate with increased tumor aggressiveness. In uterine cervical lesions, GSTT1 and GSTM1 deletions have also been suggested to facilitate the persistence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and HPV-induced carcinogenesis. This work addresses the hypothesis that GSTT1/GSTM1 deletions are associated with presence of HPV DNA and aggressiveness in penile cancer, a rare malignancy with HPV+ and HPV- subtypes.
