Cytochrome P450 (CYP) and glutathione S-transferases (GST) polymorphisms (CYP1A1, CYP1B1, GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1) and urinary levels of 1-hydroxypyrene in Turkish coke oven workers [PDF]
Genetic polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes have been associated with cancer risk. We evaluated the influences of genetic polymorphisms of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolizing enzymes on urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP ...

Association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 allelic variants and head and neck squamous cell cancinoma.
BackgroundsGSTM1 and GSTT1 are involved in the detoxification of carcinogens such as smoking by-products, and polymorphisms in these two genes with a result of loss of enzyme activity may increase risk of carcinogenesis.

Nullity of GSTT1/GSTM1 related to pesticides is associated with Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Genetic and environmental factors affect the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Genetic variants of the enzyme glutathione S-transferases (GST) may be related to the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the influence

A descriptive case series of hepatotoxicity associated with CFTR modulators and possible relevance of pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in cystic fibrosis patients. [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators are widely used in patients with cystic fibrosis and significantly improve respiratory function and quality of life. However, their effectiveness may be limited by liver damage, which sometimes leads to treatment discontinuation, and the mechanisms underlying this remain poorly ...

RAF1 Promotes Gstt1‐Mediated Ferroptosis by Promoting KDM1A Recruitment to Facilitate Pilocarpine‐Induced Acute Seizure‐Associated Neuronal Injury [PDF]
In the hippocampus of mice with pilocarpine‐induced acute seizures and in glutamate‐treated neuronal cell lines, the mRNA and protein levels of RAF1 were significantly increased. RAF1 interacts with the KDM1A and recruits it to the promoter of Gstt1, thereby inhibiting the transcription of Gstt1.

Non-HLA Antibody-Associated Hyperacute Allograft Rejection Following Lung Transplantation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric‐onset pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare, progressive pulmonary vascular disease associated with high mortality. In cases unresponsive to pharmacological therapy with a severe cardiorespiratory phenotype, lung transplantation (LT) remains the final treatment option. Although LT for pediatric PH is considered a procedure
