Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450 4B1 (CYP4B1) is involved in the metabolism of several xenobiotics, such as 2-aminofluorene, 2-naphthylamine and benzidine. CYP4B1 allelic variants CYP4B1*1-*7 were recently identified. We thus hypothesized that CYP4B1 genotypes may modify bladder cancer risk. We examined the CYP4B1 genotypes in 169 bladder cancer cases and 190 hospital controls using a hybridization probe assay. Among the CYP4B1...
