The role of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, and OGG1 polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes mellitus risk: A case–control study in a Turkish population

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of some polymorphisms in GSTs (GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1) which are very important protective mechanisms against oxidative stress and in OGG1 gene which is important in DNA repair, against the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 127 T2DM and 127 control subjects were included in the study. DNA was extracted from whole blood. Analyses of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms were performed...
