To identify whether the polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and GSTT1 genes predict a high-tended risk of using tobacco, the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes of 369 Iranian males (254 nonsmokers and 115 smokers) and 314 Iranian females (245 nonsmokers and 69 smokers) were determined. The frequencies of GSTM1 (males: OR=0.98, 95% CI=0.62-1.57, P=.974; females: OR=1.34, 95% CI=0.75-2.39, P=.358) and GSTT1 (males: OR=1.25, 95% CI=0.76-2.04, P=.412; females: OR=0.84, 95% CI=0.46-1.51, P=.626) null genotypes were similar in nonsmokers and smokers. The risk of being a smoker was to be equally frequent in each combination of the genotypes. The present results revealed that there was no difference between smokers and nonsmokers for these two genetic polymorphisms.
