Abstract excerpt
Human microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) catalyzes a key step in the biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene that yields the highly mutagenic (+)-anti-7,8-diol-9,10 epoxide (BPDE). Two polymorphisms have been described in the coding region of the mEH gene (EPHX1) that produce two protein variants: 113Tyr-->113His (exon 3) and 139His-->139Arg (exon 4). We performed a case-control study among Northwestern Mediterranean...
