Carriers of GSTT1 gene deletion were found to be more subjected to a risk of emerging non-small-cell lung cancer (NSLC) than those of normal GSTT1(+) genotype. Study on the relation between GST gene polymorphism and cytogenetic indices in lung cancer patients has shown a significant excess of the group average level in cells with micronuclei in NSLC patients with GSTT1(–). The frequency of cells with micronuclei was higher in smoking patients with a mutant genotype than in smoking carriers of the GSTT1(+) genotype.
