title: Glutathione-S-transferase M1 and T1 and cytochrome P1A1 genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Greek women.
abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the importance of genetic polymorphisms of glutathione-S-transferase T1 and M1 and cytochrome P1A1 genes in the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Greek women. This was a prospective, case-control study conducted by the Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy Unit of a University Ob/Gyn Department from 1999 to 2003. Cervical smears from 114 controls without any cytological and/or colposcopical evidence of cervical pathology and from 166 women with history of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (56 CIN I, 54 CIN II and 56 CIN III) were examined with polymerase chain reaction for the above-mentioned genetic polymorphisms, taking also in mind their smoking attitudes. Statistical analysis was performed to detect any association between the null genotype of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes and the CYP1A1 m1 polymorphism and the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The distributions of the GSTT1 and GSTM1 wild-type genotypes were 57.48 and 39.75%, respectively. No woman with homozygous GSTT1 and GSTM1 null/null genotype was identified. CYP1A1 m1 polymorphism frequency was 24.49%. No woman with homozygous CYP1A1 m1/m1 genotype was detected as well. No significant difference in the frequencies of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null alleles, and the CYP1A1 m1 polymorphism, was found between cases and controls. After application of Mantel-Haenszel chi procedure, there was no linear severity of the lesion and the frequency of these polymorphisms. According to our results, glutathione-S-transferase T1 and M1 and cytochrome P1A1 genetic polymporphisms do not appear to be a risk factor for cervical disease irrespective of smoking habits.
