| Abstract | Glutathione S-transferases are a superfamily of multifunctional enzymes that play a key role in Phase II metabolism, detoxifying therapeutic drugs, and various carcinogens by conjugation with glutathione. We undertook a case–control study in Central-Eastern Portuguese population to evaluate the association of null genotype in GSTM1 and GSTT1 along with the polymorphism in GSTP1 (A/G) and susceptibility to breast cancer. The population sample consisted of 85 patients with histological diagnosis of breast cancer and 102 healthy women. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples, and genotyping analyses were performed by PCR-based methods. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression. We found a increased breast cancer risk associated with GSTM1 null genotype (OR = 3.597; 95% CI = 1.849–6.999; P = 0.0001) and GSTT1 (OR = 2.592; 95% CI = 1.432–4.690; P = 0.002), but the presence of valine alleles compared to isoleucine alleles in codon 105 in GSTP1 did not increase the risk of breast cancer development. The two-way combination of GSTM1 and GTTT1 null genotypes resulted in 8-fold increase for breast cancer risk (OR = 8.287; 95% CI = 3.124–21.980; P = 0.0001) and the three-way combination of GSTP1 105AA/AG and null genotypes for both GSTM1 and GSTT1 resulted in 5-fold increase for breast cancer risk (OR = 5.040; 95% CI = 1.392–18.248; P = 0.016). Our results suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype alone, both combined or combined with GSTP1 valine alleles, are associated with higher susceptibility to breast cancer development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
