Abstract excerpt
Differences in genetic susceptibility to tobacco-induced carcinogenesis appear to modulate an individual's risk of squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Risk for SCCHN may be associated with the null alleles of the carcinogen-metabolizing genes glutathione-S-transferase (GST) T1 and GSTM1. In this study, we evaluated the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes and risk of SCCHN in a...
