Glutathione S-transferase, incense burning and asthma in children.
Incense burning is a popular practice in many family homes and temples. However, little is known about the effects of indoor incense burning and genetic polymorphisms on asthma. This study evaluated the effects of indoor incense burning and glutathione S-transferase (GST) genetic polymorphisms on asthma and wheeze. In 2007, 3,764 seventh-grade schoolchildren (mean±sd age 12.42±0.65 yrs) were ev...

Glutathione S transferase deficiency and passive smoking increase childhood asthma.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the genetically determined deficiency of glutathione S transferase (GST) enzymes involved in the detoxification of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) components may contribute to the development of asthma. METHODS A large population of German schoolchildren (n = 3054) was genotyped for deficiencies of the GST isoforms M1 and T1. The association between GST...
متن کاملGlutathione S-Transferase P1, Maternal Smoking, and Asthma in Children: A Haplotype-Based Analysis
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) plays a role in a spectrum of respiratory diseases; however, the effects of sequence variation across the entire locus in asthma pathogenesis have yet to be determined. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate whether sequence variations in the GSTP1 coding and promoter regions are associated with asthma and wheezing outcomes and to det...
متن کاملGlutathione-S-transferase (GST) P1, GSTM1, exercise, ozone and asthma incidence in school children.
BACKGROUND Because asthma has been associated with exercise and ozone exposure, an association likely mediated by oxidative stress, we hypothesised that glutathione-S-transferase (GST)P1, GSTM1, exercise and ozone exposure have interrelated effects on the pathogenesis of asthma. METHODS Associations of the well characterised null variant of GSTM1 and four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs...
