Aryl hydrocarbon receptor gene polymorphisms affect lung cancer risk.

Abstract excerpt

To evaluate the role of genetic polymorphisms of AhR related to the carcinogen metabolism and cell proliferation, genotypes of three AhR polymorphisms Ex1+185A>G, IVS7+33T>G and Ex10+501G>A were determined in 616 lung cancer cases and 616 lung cancer-free controls. When the effect of each AhR allele on lung cancer risk was evaluated, any AhR genotype did not show the association with lung cancer risk. However,...
