| Abstract | Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in developing as well as developed countries. Life style choices, particularly tobacco smoking, have been implicated as the main cause in the development of the LC. Despite the fact that majority cases of the LC occur among smokers, only 1–15% of smokers develop LC. In the present study, we have explored the role of genetic polymorphism, smoking habit and their association to LC in a cohort of north Indian population. The polymorphic genes explored were CYP1A1, GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 using techniques of Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Real Time PCR (RT PCR), and gene sequencing. Genetic polymorphism was analysed in 253 normal participants (control) and 93 LC patients originating from Lucknow, India. Data were compared using odds ratio and Fisher Exact Test. We found that smoking increases the susceptibility to LC threefold (OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 0.9–2.8). The most significant risk for LC (OR = 3.2; 95% CI: 0.7–3.8) was found in the association of the homozygous variant of CYP1A1 gene at A2455G base change at Exon 7 (Val/Val) genotype. There was a marginally significant association between LC and GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.0–1.7) while no significant risk association was found between GSTP1 polymorphism and LC. The present study demonstrates that the presence of null genotype of GSTM1/GSTT1 taken together with CYP1A1 (Val/Val) genotype increases the susceptibility to LC eightfold in comparison to CYP1A1 (Ile/Ile) and GSTM1/ GSTT1 genotype. |

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.
