Abstract
In this study we show an effect of the glutathione-S-transferase M1 (G STM1) null phenotype on the risk for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)bf t he bladder among male smokers in Egypt, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.5 (95% confidence interval: 1.06-21.77). However, no overall effect of the GSTM1 null phenotype on the risk for bladder SCC was observed.
