Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the tumor biopsies of 45 patients with bladder cancer for p53 mutations by direct sequencing. In addition to N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) and GSTM1 allelisms, which were examined previously, we have analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of GSTT1, GSTP1, COMT, NQO1, TS-SULT and MPO in buffy coat DNA using PCR-based methods. All subjects were interviewed through a questionnaire on smoking, dietary...
