Abstract (en)

Genetic susceptibility to tobacco smoke might modify the effect of smoking on pregnancy outcomes.1 2 Although separate GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene deletions are wellstudied functional variants, the synergistic effects of these two genes on the infant birth weight in smoking women is not known.
