Description Reflux esophagitis (RE) and Barretts esophagus belong to the most common esophageal complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes play an important role in cellular protection against oxidative stress and toxic foreign chemicals. Therefore, we investigated the hypothesis that polymorphisms in genes for these detoxifying enzymes could influence susceptibility to RE and Barretts esophagus.
