Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To show that the slow arylamine N-acetyltransferase type 2 (NAT2) catalysed acetylator function is associated with the development of age-related cataracts. METHODS: Both the acetylator phenotype and genotype of 139 patients with age-related cataracts were determined, and the distribution of the acetylator subtypes in the case population was compared with the distribution in the general (control)...
