BACKGROUND We recently reported that antioxidant supplementation with vitamins C and E mitigated ozone related decline in forced expiratory flow (FEF(25-75)) in 158 asthmatic children in an area with high ozone exposure in Mexico City. METHODS A study was undertaken to determine whether deletion of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1 null genotype), a gene involved in response to oxidative stress, influences ozone related decline in FEF(25-75) and the benefit of antioxidant supplementation. RESULTS GSTM1 null children receiving placebo had significant ozone related decrements in FEF(25-75) (percentage change per 50 ppb of ozone 2.9 (95% CI -5.2 to -0.6), p=0.01); GSTM1 positive children did not. Conversely, the effect of antioxidants was stronger in children with the GSTM1 null genotype. CONCLUSIONS Asthmatic children with a genetic deficiency of GSTM1 may be more susceptible to the deleterious effects of ozone on the small airways and might derive greater benefit from antioxidant supplementation.
