Association of Genetic Polymorphisms of Glutathione-S-Transferase Genes ( <i>GSTT1</i> , <i>GSTM1</i> , and <i>GSTP1</i> ) and Susceptibility to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Zahedan, Southeast Iran
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Oxidative damage is thought to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in cell protection against oxidative stress. We examined whether GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms are associated with NAFLD in a sample of the Iranian population. The current case-control study included 83 patients with NAFLD and 93 healthy subjects. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms were analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The GSTP1 polymorphism was detected by tetra amplification refractory mutation system-PCR assay. The GSTM1-null genotype was significantly associated with the development of NAFLD (odds ratios [OR]=2.171, 95% confidence intervals [CI]=1.188-3.970, p=0.015). The GSTP1 Val allele was shown to be a risk factor for NAFLD (OR=1.739, 95% CI=1.089-2.777, p=0.024). The GSTT1 polymorphism was not significantly different between control and patient groups (p=0.221). This study showed that GSTM1 and GSTP1, but not GSTT1, genetic polymorphisms are associated with NAFLD in a sample of the Iranian population, and may be used to determine the risk of development of NAFLD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
