Abstract excerpt
Variants in the metabolic genes NAT1, NAT2, GSTM1 or GSTT1, may cause differences in individual detoxifying capacity of possible carcinogens. We examined the cumulative effect of putative at risk genotypes on breast cancer risk and we examined the extent to which these polymorphisms modify the association between smoking and breast cancer. A case cohort study was conducted in the DOM cohort with 676 breast cancer...
