Abstract excerpt
The association between metabolic polymorphisms and cigarette smoking-induced cancers has been documented. However, the role of DNA repair polymorphism in carcinogenesis is less clear. To investigate if the polymorphisms of metabolic traits and DNA repair modulate smoking-related DNA damage, we used sister chromatid exchange (SCE) as a marker of genetic damage to explore the relationship of microsomal epoxide...
