Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mucosal biotransformation enzymes can modify toxic compounds in the gut. As chemical or oxidative stress may be involved in the aetiology of Crohn's disease, genes encoding for enzymes involved in the prevention of such stress may be candidates for genetic susceptibility to Crohn's disease. AIM: To assess the association of Crohn's disease with genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 1A1, glutathione...
