Figure 1 Electrophoretic pattern of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null polymorphisms (multiplex polymerase chain reaction method developed by Abdel-Rahman et al. [11]). Band sizes are indicated on the left of gel. Band size 480 bp is GSTT1 expressor genotype. Band size 350 bp is β-globin gene (coamplified internal control). Band size 215 bp is GSTM1 expressor genotype. Lanes 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 11: GSTT1 expressor/GSTM1 expressor genotype. Lanes 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10, GSTT1 expressor/GSTM1 null genotype. Lane 12, GSTT1 null/GSTM1 null genotype.
