Abstract excerpt
Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) plays an important role in the biotransformation of xenobiotics, and genetic variants have been implicated in susceptibility to cancer and birth defects. A specific and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay for transcription from the major NAT1 promoter detected high expression with limited variability in human tissues. A 213-base pair (bp)...
