BACKGROUND:Microsomal epoxide hydrolase enzyme (mEPHX) is involved in xenobiotics detoxification. Two variants of mEPHX, Tyr113His and His139Arg, have been described. Both may lead to acquired aplastic anemia (AA). OBJECTIVES:Assessing mEPHX genetic polymorphisms and detecting their impact on susceptibility and prognosis in Egyptian AA patients. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS:mEPHX 113 and 139 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 100 patients with AA and 100 control subjects. RESULTS:Both mEPHX Tyr113His and His139Arg gene polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of developing AA, and have a significant impact of bad prognosis (p valueâ<â0.01). CONCLUSIONS:These mEPHX gene polymorphisms can be considered as risk factors and predictive molecular markers for prognosis in AA patients.
