Objective To investigate the relationship between the polymorphism of glutathione S transferase M1, T1(GSTM1, GSTT1) gene and the susceptibility to antituberculosis drug induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) in patients with tuberculosis. Methods GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms in patients with or without liver toxicity after antituberculous treatment were analyzed using multiple PCR method. Results In ATDH group and control group, the proportion of GSTM1 gene deletion was 58.0% and 50.7% respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (OR=1.322, 95%CI=0.921~1.878), the frequencies of GSTT1 deletion were 46.3% and 49.3%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between them. There was no significant difference in frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 variation between case group and control group (P> 0.05), and no synergistic effect of those two gene polymorphism were detected in the occurrence of antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity. Conclusion The polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes may not be associated with the risk of ATDH.
