Abstract excerpt
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) are involved in the metabolism of estrogens. Genetic polymorphisms in these genes may lead to interindividual variation in breast cancer susceptibility. This study was undertaken to investigate the association of NQO1 exon 6 proline187serine (C609T) and CYP1A2 exon 2 phenylalanine21leucine (C63G) polymorphisms with breast cancer...
