Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in metabolizing enzymes may modify the association of environmental exposure on colorectal cancer (CRC) and adenoma risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and ninety-eight CRC cases, 422 adenomas (206 low-risk and 216 high-risk adenomas) and 222 controls were genotyped for the CYP1A2 164 A-->C polymorphism and questionnaires were used to assess environmental exposure. RESULTS:...
