Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To examine role of genetic variants of CYP2A13 and UGT1A7 genes, involved in activation and detoxification of tobacco carcinogens, with risk of head and neck cancer as well as to assess the potential modifying role of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. METHODS: 203 head and neck cancer patients and 201 healthy controls were genotyped for functional polymorphisms of CYP2A13 and UGT1A7 genes...
