Abstract excerpt
NQO1 gene polymorphism at nucleotide 609 (Pro187Ser) results in a lowering of NQO1 detoxifying activity and is associated with susceptibility to various cancers. The NQO1 genotypes were identified by RFLP in 104 bladder cancer cases and 120 control subjects in an ethnic Kashmiri population. The f...
