Abstract
The findings demonstrated a highly significant association between the null genotypes and MS (OR = 6.89 for M1/T1). The combination of two genotypes increased the risk of MS by 6.8 times. The null genotypes were found to be more frequent in women than in men. Moreover, a significant association was observed between the null genotype and EDSS 6-10 (OR = 3.199). No significant association was noticed between MS type and the studied genotypes. According to this study, it can be proposed that people with GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletions are at a higher risk for developing MS, which can be due to a decrease in enzymatic activity and their levels in nerve cells and the brain.
