Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies suggested a protective effect of certain phenotypes of polymorphic foreign-compound-metabolizing enzymes in some types of cancer. Poor metabolizers (PM) of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (cytochrome P-450IID6, CYP2D6) were found to be underrepresented among patients with lung cancer. Recent advances in molecular genetic characterization of CYP2D6, glutathione S-transferase (GST) class Mu, and...
