Russian Journal of Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Comparison of the frequency distributions of alleles, genotypes, and genotype combinations of genes GSTM1and GSTT1 did not show statistically significant differences between patients with motor neuron disease (MND) and a random sample from the Moscow population. Apparently, these genes are not involved in MND pathogenesis in these patients.
