Polymorphisms of the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A7 gene in colorectal cancer
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase-1A7 (UGT1A7) gene are detected and significantly correlated with sporadic colorectal carcinoma. UGT1A7, which has recently been demonstrated to glucuronidate environmental carcinogens, is now implicated as a cancer risk gene. A silent mutation at codon 11 and missense mutations at codons 129, 131, and 208 lead to the description of three...
