Xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and cancer risk: correspondence between genotype and phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Metabolic activation and/or inactivation of a carcinogen is usually studied in appropriate in vitro systems but ultimately needs confirmation from in vivo studies, i.e. phenotype studies. It determines what initially happens to a carcinogen to which an organism is exposed. Consequently, it is of major importance to investigate the correspondence between any particular genotype of a carcinogen-metabolizing enzyme...
