title: Effect of glutathione-S-transferase M1 and T1 allelic polymorphisms on HPV-induced cervical precancer formation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The effect of GSTM1 and GSTT1 allelic polymorphisms was studied on the HPV-induced cervical carcinogenesis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two hundred and fifty-three women with persistent high-risk HPV infection were involved in the study; 117 of them developed cervical high-grade dysplasia and/or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade III during the 7-year follow-up period. Occurrence of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes was compared between women with and without dysplasia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Presence of GSTM1 (OR=1.78, 95% CI=1.06-2.97; p=0.028) and GSTT1 (OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.10-3.26; p=0.022) null genotypes was statistically significantly more frequent among women with cervical dysplasia than in the group without dysplasia. Participants with dual null genotype had an even more elevated risk of precancerous lesion (OR=2.35, 95% CI=1.17-4.73; p=0.017).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our study demonstrated the role of both GSTM1 and T1 null genotypes in the development of high-grade cervical dysplasia in a Caucasian population.
