The aim of this study was to ascertain whether genetic polymorphism affects susceptibility of individuals to nephrotoxic potentials of benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, and xylenes (BTEXs). Fifty BTEXs exposed workers with one or more abnormal parameter of kidney function and 232 referent subjects, with similar exposure history, free from any abnormal kidney parameters were investigated. Atmospheric concentrations of BTEXs were measured. In addition, genetic polymorphisms were determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The frequencies of GSTP1 Ile-Val/Val-Val, null GSTT1, and null GSTT1/GSTM1 genotypes and mean values of blood urea nitrogen and plasma creatinine were significantly higher, while average glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower in cases than in referent subjects. These findings indicate that individuals carrying null GSTT1 or null GSTT1/GSTM1 are more susceptible to nephrotoxic properties of BTEXs compounds.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007674 Kidney Diseases Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues. Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D008297 Male Males
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
