Human glutathione S-transferase GSTM1 genetic polymorphism in Estonia

Hum Hered. 1994 Sep-Oct;44(5):248-51. doi: 10.1159/000154225.

Abstract

The distribution of glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) gene deletion was examined in 151 healthy, unrelated individuals from an Estonian population. The study was carried out using the polymerase chain reaction technique. The frequency of individuals with allele GSTM1*0 in homozygous state in Estonian population was 0.503.
