Table 3. Relationship of BPDE-like DNA adduct levels and CYPA1 and GSTM1 polymorphisms in pterygium patients.

  BPDE-like DNA adduct levels  
Gene Negative Positive p value
CYP1A1
A 29 5  
B 29 25  
C 11 4 0.006
GSTM1
Null 17 17  
Present 25 44 0.205

The results were evaluated independently by three observers and scored for the percentage of positive nuclei: negative, 0%; positive, more than 11% positive cells. BPDE DNA adducts analyzed in this study are based on prior pterygium samples [25].
