Abstract excerpt
N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) catalyses the activation and/or deactivation of a variety of aromatic amine drugs and carcinogens. Polymorphisms in the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene have been associated with a variety of drug-induced toxicities, as well as cancer in various tissues. Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the NAT2 coding region, but the specific effects of each of...
