in the present study we have examined the GSTP1 Ile/Val polymorphism by ARMS assay to know the base data of GSTP1*A, GSTP1*B, GSTP1*C and GSTP1*D alleles in normal Delhi population. The information on frequencies of these four alleles was available in a few studies ( Table 2). They have also observed almost similar results and the differences in frequencies were not statistically significant when compared with the present study
