Background: There has been much interest in the role of free radicals and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferase-mu (GSTT1) and the risk of the development of DM in a sample of Yazdian females in Yazd, Iran.
Methods: This was a case-control study in which GSTT1 polymorphism was genotyped in 51 randomly selected DM patients and 50 randomly selected healthy controls among Yazdian females whose ages ranged from 40 to 70.
Results: The frequencies of GSTT1 null genotype and GSTT1 present were 8 and 92%, respectively, in the control samples. In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the frequencies of GSTT1 null genotype and GSTT1 present were 14 and 86%, respectively. There were higher levels of triglycerides (TG), fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), body mass index (BMI), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with GSTT1 null genotype than in patients with the GSTT1 present genotype.
Conclusions: Our results indicated that the GSTT1 deletion polymorphism is a risk factor for T2DM. We did not determine any significant association between the GSTT1 null genotype and T2DM.

Background: In this study we explored the association of polymorphisms of glutathione s transferase gene including GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 with adverse acute normal tissue reactions resulted from radiotherapy in HNC patients. We assessed the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes and Ile105Val of exon-5 and Ala114Val of exon-6 of GSTP1 gene polymorphisms with the risk of acute skin toxicity reactions after therapeutic radiotherapy in HNC patients.
Methods: Four hundred HNC patients administered with Intensity modulated radiation therapy were enrolled in this study for the evaluation of radiotherapy associated toxicity reactions.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease, with its own clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics, which mainly affects premature newborns (NBs), 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 NBs, 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.

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.
