Rana Liaquat Ali Khan Government College of home Economics Karachi, (RLAK CHE) initiated a program for establishing criterial for human nutrition professionals in 2008. Pakistan Nutrition and Dietetic Society also joined and shared professional expertise in the project. Together they established a qualification and test-based criteria for giving RD certificate in 2010 and PNDS has been holding RDN (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist) exam all over Pakistan giving certificate for period of 2 years on the basis of that criteria all.

    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.3.1145 GSTM1, GSTT1 and CYP1A1 Gene Variants and Oral Cancer Risk in Pashtun Population of Pakistan. RESEARCH ARTICLE Genetic Susceptibility to Oral Cancer due to Combined Effects of GSTT1, GSTM1 and CYP1A1 Gene Variants in Tobacco Addicted Patients of Pashtun Ethnicity of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan Zakiullah1&*, Ahmadullah2&, Muhammad Khisroon2, Muhammad Saeed1*, Ajmal Khan2, Fazli Khuda1, Sajid Ali3, Nabila Javed4, Muhammad Ovais6, Nosheen Masood5, Nasir Khan Khalil1, Mohammad Ismail1 Abstract Associations of GSTT1, GSTM1 and CYP1A1 gene variants with risk of developing oral cancer were evaluated in this study. A case-control study was conducted in Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan in which 200 hospital based oral cancer cases and 151 population based healthy controls exposed to similar environmental conditions were included. Sociodemographic data were obtained and blood samples were collected with informed consent for analysis. GSTM1 and GSTT1 were analysed through conventional PCR method while specific RT-PCR method was used to detect CYP1A1 polymorphisms. Results were analyzed for conditional logistic regression model by SPSS version 20. The study shows that patients with either GSTM1 or GSTT1 null genotypes have significantly higher risk of oral cancer (adjusted odds (OR): (3.019 (1.861-4.898) and 3.011(1.865-4.862), respectively), which further increased when either one or both null genes were present in combination (adjusted odds (OR): (3.627 (1.981-6.642 and 9.261 (4.495-19.079), respectively). CYP1A1 rs4646903 gene variants individually showed weak association OR: 1.121 (0.717-1.752); however, in the presence of GSTM1 and/or GSTT1 null genotypes further increasing the association (adjusted odds (ORs): 4.576 (2.038-10.273), 5.593 (2.530-12.362) and 16.10 (3.854-67.260 for GSTM/GSTT null and CYP1A1 wild type, GSTM/GSTT either null and CYP1A1 variant alleles, and all 3 gene polymorphisms combinations, respectively).
