Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the gene encoding the glutathione S-transferase (GST) pi metabolizing enzyme have previously been associated with susceptibility to various cancers. In this study, the importance of GSTP1 genotypes as determinants of risk for oral cancer was assessed by examining the prevalence of GSTP1 alleles in 157 incident oral cancer cases and 260 non-cancer control individuals frequency-matched by race,...
