Citogenetičko oštećenje u turskih radnika na koksnim pećima izloženih policikličkim aromatskim ugljikovodicima: povezanost s genskim polimorfizmima CYP1A1, CYP1B1, EPHX1, GSTM1, GSTT1 i GSTP1

摘要

The aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations (CA) and cytochalasinblocked micronuclei (CBMN) in peripheral blood lymphocytes from Turkish coke oven workers and the influence of CYP1A1, CYP1B1, EPHX1, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms on these biomarkers. Cytogenetic analysis showed that occupational exposure significantly increased the CA and CBMN frequencies. Gene polymorphisms, on the other hand, did not affect CA or CBMN in either exposed or control subjects. However, due to the limited sample size, our findings need to be verified in future studies with a larger sample.
