Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Glutathione S-transferases pi1, alpha1 and micro3 are members of an enzymatic superfamily involved in the conjugation and detoxification of carcinogens. Polymorphisms affecting the genes encoding these enzymes may modify their ability to neutralize carcinogens. Our aim was to investigate whether these polymorphisms affect the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in humans. METHODS: A total of...
