ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the correlation between the combination of smoking with CYP2E1-RsaⅠ and GSTT1 genes polymorphisms and pancreatic cancer.Methods The genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1-RsaⅠ and GSTT1 were analyzed by polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique in peripheral blood leukocytes of 150 pancreatic cancer cases and 150 non-cancer controls.Results The frequency of CYP2E1-RsaⅠ(c1/c1) and GSTT1(-) was 38.7% and 69.3% in pancreatic cancer cases and 20.7% and 44.7% in healthy controls,respectively.Statistical tests showed significant differences in the frequencies between the two groups(?2=15.75,P
