Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in chemical metabolizing genes are known to influence individual susceptibility to environmental cancer. We investigated the role of GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms in modifying the genotoxicity of a tobacco-specific nitrosamine, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) using the sister chromatid exchange (SCE), and the tandem-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization chromosome aberration...
