The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A7 (UGT1A7) gene is polymorphic and encodes an enzyme involved in the detoxification of heterocyclic amines (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Consumption of pan-fried and well-done meat are surrogates for HCA and PAH exposure and are possibly associated with colon cancer. We have evaluated whether UGT1A7 allelic variations are associated with colon cancer and...
