    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether there is a relationship between HLA-A, -B, -Cw, and -DRB1 alleles and developing nasal polyposis (NP). STUDY DESIGN: Data from 66 patients with NP were compared with data from 100 healthy randomly selected controls. Asthma, ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) triad, polyp score, and previous sinonasal surgery were also recorded. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Genotyping of the HLA-A, -B, -Cw, and -DRB1 alleles were performed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the sequence-specific primer (SSP) method. Data were analyzed by using a Pearson chi(2) test. RESULTS: The HLA-B*07 and -Cw*12 alleles were found to be significantly higher in the NP patients compared with the control group, whereas the HLA-B*57 and HLA-Cw*04 alleles were significantly lower (P < 0.05). The HLA-A*24, HLA-Cw*12, and HLA-DRB1*04 alleles were determined to be significantly higher in the NP patients with asthma and ASA triad (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that some of the HLA alleles seem to be associated with the genetic susceptibility to develop NP in the Turkish population.

    Glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 genotypes and myocardial infarction
    (SPRINGER, 2013) Cora, Tulin; Tokac, Mehmet; Acar, Hasan; Soylu, Ahmet; Inan, Ziya
    Myocardial infarction (MI), which is the most important manifestation of coronary artery disease, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Glutathione S transferases (GSTs) are enzymes responsible for the metabolism of numerous xenobiotics and are known to be polymorphic in humans. We investigated the association between the GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms and MI. The study consists of 296 healthy controls and 324 consecutive patients who had undergone coronary angiography for suspicion of coronary artery disease and with a past history of myocardial infarction. DNA was extracted from whole blood of patient and control. GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms were examined using multiplex PCR. We found that the null GSTM1 was associated with protective effect on MI, although this increase was not significant for GSTM1 (p < 0.054). However, GSTT1 genotype was associated with an increase in the risk of developing MI. In addition to after adjusting other all coronary risk factors, the interactive effect of GSTT1 null genotype remained statistically significant (p < 0.001) for MI disease but GSTM1 null genotype was not statistically significant. Patients, who smoke having the null genotypes of GSTM1, were at a higher risk for developing MI (p < 0.001, OR = 0.41, 95 % CI = 0.240-0.207). There was an effect of interaction of GSTM1 null genotype and smoking on MI development between patient and control groups (p < 0.001). Our results showed that individuals with the null genotypes for GSTM1 had protective effect, while GSTT1 was at a higher risk for MI disease. In addition, there was additional effects of smoking when smoking and non-smoking groups were compared.
