Abstract excerpt
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) is a polymorphic enzyme involved in the detoxification of potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic quinones. The homozygous C609T NQO1 genotype resulting in loss of reductase activity is found in 2-20% of individuals. In the present study, the NQO1-dependent risk for sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) was studied in 247 incident CRC cases and 296 hospital-based controls recruited...
