9 Disinfection Byproducts, GSTT1/GSTZ1, and Bladder Cancer Ubiquitous in all water supplies disinfected with chlorine Precursor levels much higher in surface than ground water sources, creating a major differential in exposure A complex mixture of halogenated organics with mutagenic properties (one class called Trihalomethanes THM)

10 Exposure Assessment for Disinfection Byproducts Lifetime residential / water source history gathered from each study subject Detailed information on water treatments & sources gathered from all major water utilities in study area average annual THM level at each utility assigned by expert evaluation Personal & utility information merged to create a lifetime yearby-year estimate of THM exposure for each study subject L t l ti k t Long-term average, cumulative, peak, etc. exposures were calculated

11 GSTT1, GSTZ1 & Disinfection Byproducts GSTT1 Mutagenic activation of trihalomethanes (THM) GSTT1 null deletion eliminates activity GSTZ1 Clears haloacetic and other dihalogenated acids: The CT/TT: M82T (exon7+29c>t, rs ) variant has decreased activity
