Abstract excerpt
N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) catalyzes N-acetylation and O-acetylation of many drugs and environmental carcinogens. Genetic polymorphisms in the NAT2 gene have been associated with differential susceptibility to cancers and drug toxicity from these compounds. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the human NAT2 coding region. A new allele, NAT2*19, possessing the C190T (R64W) exchange,...
