Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Progression of hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) might be affected by host genetic factors. The present study was undertaken to study the role of glutathione S-transferases (GST)-M1 and T1 gene polymorphisms in different stages of HBV infection: HBV inactive carrier, chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis, and cryptogenic cirrhosis.

METHODS: The study population comprised of 170 subjects; 120 cases (HBV inactive carrier,

RESULTS: The GSTM1 null genotype was seen more commonly in hepatitis B cirrhosis (

CONCLUSION: The patients with GSTM1 null genotype are at risk of progression of liver disease as the frequency of GSTM1 null genotype was found to be significantly higher in chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis B cirrhosis and cryptogenic cirrhosis as compared with controls.

Keywords: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GST, glutathione S-transferase; GSTM1; GSTT1; HBV, hepatitis B virus; cryptogenic cirrhosis; hepatitis B; null genotype
