Abstract excerpt
The role of hereditary polymorphisms of the arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) gene in the etiology of urinary bladder cancer is controversial. NAT1 is expressed in the urothelium and may O-acetylate hydroxyl amines, particularly in subjects with low NAT2 activity. Thus, NAT1 polymorphisms may affect the individual bladder cancer risk by interacting with environmental factors (smoking and occupational risks)...
