Abstract excerpt
Analysis of gene-environment interactions may help to define the risk of oral leukoplakia. We hypothesized that an individual's susceptibility to leukoplakia is dependent on interactions between polymorphic genotypes at susceptible loci and tobacco exposure. To test this hypothesis, the relationship between tobacco use and polymorphisms in 3 genes that might contribute to variance in individuals' susceptibility...
