Abstract excerpt
The genetic polymorphisms of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 genes among 100 Japanese patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) were investigated to evaluate the role of genetic susceptibility in carcinogenesis of the oral cavity. The presence of the rare homozygote of CYP1A1, m2/m2, was significantly more frequent in the patient group (15.0%) than the control group (8.0%) (Odds ratio (ORs) = 3.6 95% Confidential...
