BACKGROUND: Microsomal epoxide hydrolase enzyme (mEPHX) is involved in xenobiotics detoxification. Two variants of mEPHX, Tyr113His and His139Arg, have been described. Both may lead to acquired aplastic anemia (AA). OBJECTIVES: Assessing mEPHX genetic polymorphisms and detecting their impact on susceptibility and prognosis in Egyptian AA patients. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: mEPHX 113 and 139 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 100 patients with AA and 100 control subjects. RESULTS: Both mEPHX Tyr113His and His139Arg gene polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of developing AA, and have a significant impact of bad prognosis (p value < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These mEPHX gene polymorphisms can be considered as risk factors and predictive molecular markers for prognosis in AA patients.
