Article Abstract
Scientific evidence has suggested, in most cases, that nullity of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes is associated with worse pathological outcomes and viral infections. In this sense, the main objective of this work was to determine the genotypic frequencies of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms in individuals with HIV and to establish a possible relationship with CD4+ T lymphocyte count. This was a cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, composed of 182 HIV-positive patients. To detect GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms by the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR), oral mucosa samples were collected. Regarding genotypic frequencies, GST nullity was high in the population, being 97.5% and 97.6%, respectively, for GSTM1- and GSTT1-. Although there was no association between the GST polymorphism and the viral load and CD4+ T lymphocyte counts at diagnosis, when related to the current CD4+ count, the isolated and combined null alleles, GSTT1 (ORadj: 0.219; = 0.004), GSTM1 (ORadj: 0.219; = 0.004), and GSTM1/T1 (ORadj: 0.219; = 0.004), were defined as factors favorable to a minimum CD4+ T lymphocyte count of 350 cells. Therefore, this study demonstrated a probable relationship between the GSTT1 and GSTM1 genetic polymorphisms and HIV.

Oxidative stress (OS) occurs when there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, leading to disruptions in cellular signaling and causing damage to molecules. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes are crucial for maintaining redox balance by facilitating glutathione conjugation. Increased oxidative damage has been noted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its persistence may be linked to the onset of long COVID.

Cyclophosphamide (CTX) is one of the most widely used drugs in the clinical treatment of tumors and autoimmune diseases. The correlation between CYP, GST, and ABC gene polymorphisms and CTX activity and its induced toxicity has been extensively studied, but with inconsistent conclusions. In this study, a meta-analysis protocol was employed to comprehensively evaluate the relationship between the gene polymorphisms, including CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, CYP3A5, GSTA1, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, ABCB1, ABCC4, and ABCG2, and the safety and efficacy of CTX.

In contrast, the portions of -positive (84%) and slow (55.1%) patients of the initial collective were unremarkable, compared to both controls.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that often requires treatment with immunosuppressant drugs to manage symptoms and prevent organ damage. However, the use of immunosuppressant can be associated with various adverse effects. The spectrum of immunosuppressant toxicity is influenced by various factors such as organ function and medication interval, but genetic variations-particularly single nucleotide polymorphisms-have emerged as critical determinants due to their direct impact on the drug's pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics alteration, also on patient susceptibility to adverse reactions.
