Abstract excerpt
N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is involved in Phase II biotransformation of a variety of toxicants. Polymorphisms in the NAT2 gene result in a slow acetylator phenotype, which has been associated with various cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. To date most studies investigating NAT2 genotype/phenotype have adopted an RFLP approach, which is both expensive and time-consuming. Using the Wave DNA fragment...
