Abstract excerpt
The Ah receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that positively regulates the expression of the CYP1A1 gene. We investigated the genetic polymorphisms of the AhR gene including the promoter, and examined the link between these polymorphisms, CYP1A1 inducibility and the lung cancer incidence. The AhR promoter region and the 11 exons of 30 subjects were screened. Among the three polymorphisms...
