Influence of Genetic Polymorphism of Styrene-Metablizing Enzymes on Occupational Exposure Monitoring to Styrene ()
ABSTRACT
In this study, we selected 58
styrene-exposed workers, measured personal styrene exposure, evaluated genotypes
relevant drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP2E1, EPHX1, GSTM1 and GSTT1) which may
explain the variability in the urinary metabolite excretion. The results showed
that, in different levels of styrene exposure groups, there is a significant association
between urinary metabolites and some genotypes of styrene-metabolizing enzymes,
including CYP2E1 (5-flanking region, RsaI/PstI), GSTM1(gene deletions) and EPHX1(predicted
activity).
