Abstract excerpt
Everyone has a unique combination of polymorphic traits that modify susceptibility and response to drugs, chemicals and carcinogenic exposures. The metabolism of exogenous and endogenous chemical toxins may be modified by inherited and induced variation in CYP (P450), acetyltransferase (NAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes. We observe that specific 'at risk' genotypes for GSTM1 and NAT1/2 increase risk...
