Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Genetic polymorphisms of enzymes involved in hormone metabolism can influence hormonal activities and risk of hormone-dependent cancers. As progression of chronic hepatitis C and risk of liver cancer is higher in males than in females, we evaluated whether the polymorphisms of three enzymes participating in the pathway of estrogen and androgen biosynthesis and inactivation, 5alpha-reductase type...
