Abstract excerpt
Three polymorphic cytochrome P450 genes that have attracted interest for their potential role in human pulmonary carcinogenesis, i.e. CYP1A1, CYP2D6 and CYP2E1, were studied in a population consisting of 106 lung cancer patients and 122 healthy controls. Polymorphism of the CYP2D6 gene encoding for debrisoquine hydroxylase was determined using XbaI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis together...
