There are controversies around the role of absence of GSTM1 and increased risk of development of several malignancies. Thus, the present study was conducted to determine the association between its genotypes and colon cancer in Namazi hospital in Shiraz. Materials and methods: For this case-control study, the polymorphism of GSTM1 was determined using PCR technique in 38 patients with colon cancer and 76 control subjects. Chi-square and odd’s ratio were used for data analysis. Results : The frequency of null genotype was 32.9% and 50% in controls and cases, respectively (p }, URL = {http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-259-en.html}, eprint = {http://feyz.kaums.ac.ir/article-1-259-en.pdf}, journal = {Feyz Medical Sciences Journal}, doi = {}, year = {2003} }
