GSTP1Ile(105)Val variants (deletion of one - Ile/Val- and two -Val/Val-, null genotype- copies) showed a marginal increased risk of BC with OR adjusted for smoking status of 2.27 (95% CI, 0.97-5.31) compared to individuals carrying wild-type genotype (Ile/Ile).
An increased but not significant frequency of GSTP1 AG or GG carriers was observed in the occupationally exposed bladder cancer patient group [odds ratio (OR)=1.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70-5.46].
An overrepresentation of GSTP1 AG or GG genotype corresponding a less stable and less effective isozyme protein was detected in patients with benzidine related occupational bladder cancer, compared with that in the normal population though a statistical significance was not yet reached (P = 0.09, OR = 1.96, 95% CI 0.89-4.32).

Data indicated that in Caucasians exposed to aromatic amines the GSTP1A1578G polymorphism did not appear to play a significant role as a predisposing factor for bladder cancer incidence.

GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 genotype frequencies were determined in bladder cancer cases (n=72) and healthy controls with no history of malignancies (n=82) using PCR-based techniques.

No association was found between the genetic polymorphisms investigated and BC risk according to coffee consumption apart of a significant increased BC risk among GSTP1 105-114 Val carriers heavy coffee drinkers (>3 cups/day) (OR 3.18, 95% CI 1.06-9.55).

No differences for GSTM1 and GSTP1 genotype prevalence between the bladder cancer cases and the controls were observed, however, the null genotype for the GSTT1 gene and the A/G and G/G variants of the CYP1A1 gene may contribute to the development of bladder cancer.
Our data suggest that tumor suppressive miR-133a directly regulated oncogenic GSTP1 gene in BC, and that an anti-apoptotic effect mediated by GSTP1 is maintained by miR-133a down-regulation in human BC.
The results of our study demonstrated that the GSTP1 313 G/G polymorphism is a strong predisposing risk factor for bladder cancer in the North Indian population.
