Abstract

The genetic polymorphism of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, NATII and CYP1A1 genes among 33 asthma patients and 66 controls were investigated to find the association between the polymorphism and the risk of asthma. The frequency of the GSTT1 null genotype was slightly higher in asthma patients than that in the control, but this difference was not significant.(omitted)
