The use of common genetic polymorphisms to enhance the epidemiologic study of environmental carcinogens.

Abstract excerpt

Overwhelming evidence indicates that environmental exposures, broadly defined, are responsible for most cancer. There is reason to believe, however, that relatively common polymorphisms in a wide spectrum of genes may modify the effect of these exposures. We discuss the rationale for using common polymorphisms to enhance our understanding of how environmental exposures cause cancer and comment on epidemiologic...
