OBJECTIVE In this study we have analyzed GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 polymorphisms in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), to investigate a possible role of these genes as genetic components of the disease. METHODS A total of 103 individuals (49 oligoarticular, 41 polyarticular and 13 systemic) were analyzed for the three polymorphisms, using a PCR/RFLP methodology. RESULTS We have observed significantly increased frequencies of individuals with GSTT1 null genotype in JIA patients comparing to controls (37% x 21%; p=0.0183). There was a 2-fold increased risk (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2-4.1) associating the disease with the GSTT1 null genotype. Considering the subgroups (oligoarticular, polyarticular and systemic), the results indicated an association between polyarticular and systemic patients and the GSTT1 null genotype. There was a 2-fold increased risk for polyarticular patients (OR 2.4, 95%, CI 1.1-5.4), and a 4-fold increased risk for systemic patients (OR 4.4, 95%, 1.3-14.5). CONCLUSIONS The GSTT1 null genotype seems to be involved in polyarticular and systemic JIA.

D005982 Glutathione Transferase A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.

D001171 Arthritis, Juvenile Arthritis in children, with onset before 16 years of age. The terms juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refer to classification systems for chronic arthritis in children. Only one subtype of juvenile arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.
