Background and Aims . Diabetic neuropathy is a frequent complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Genetic susceptibility and oxidative stress may play a role in the appearance of T2DM and diabetic neuropathy. We investigated the relation between polymorphism in genes related to oxidative stress such as  GSTM1 ,  GSTT1 , and  GSTP1  and the presence of T2DM and diabetic neuropathy (DN).  Methods . Samples were collected from 84 patients with T2DM (42 patients with DN and 42 patients without DN) and 98 healthy controls and genotyped by using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism method.  Results .  GSTP1  Ile105Val polymorphism was associated with the risk of developing T2DM ( p  = 0.05) but not with the risk of developing DN in diabetic cases.  GSTM1  and  GSTT1  gene polymorphisms were associated with neither the risk of developing T2DM nor the risk of DN occurrence in diabetic patients. No association was observed between the patients with T2DM and DSPN (diabetic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy) and T2DM without DSPN regarding investigated polymorphism.  Conclusion . Our data suggest that  GSTP1  gene polymorphisms may contribute to the development of T2DM in Romanian population.  GSTM1 ,  GSTT1 , and  GSTP1  gene polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility of developing diabetic neuropathy in T2DM patients.
