Abstract excerpt
Understanding the mechanisms involved with genetic susceptibility to environmental disease is of major interest to the scientific community. We have conducted an in vitro study to elucidate the involvement of polymorphic metabolizing genes on the genotoxicity of benzo[a]pyrene (BP). Blood samples from 38 donors were treated with BP and the induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosome aberrations...
