Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variation in the glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) gene and occupational polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) exposure are putative prostate cancer risk factors. An Ile/Val polymorphism in codon 105 of GSTP1 affects its enzymatic activity toward PAH detoxification, a possible mechanism in prostate carcinogenesis. METHODS: To determine whether the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism modifies prostate cancer...
