Abstract excerpt
A vast number of studies are focused on investigating genetic polymorphism in order to estimate genetic contribution to the development of cancer. Possible cancer susceptibility genes have been sought among oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA repair genes and genes encoding phase I and phase II enzymes. Large individual differences in the biotransformation of xenobiotics have been explained on the basis of...
