Abstract

Glutathione S-transferase (GSTMI) plays an important role in the excretion of catechol estrogens and is therefore a candidate marker for fibroids. However, this case-control study demonstrated no association between GSTMI polymorphism and the risk of leiomyoma in Brazilian women. (Fertil Steril (R) 2009;91:1496-8.
