Abstract excerpt
Data concerning the influence of sequence variants of metabolizing enzymes on the effect modulation of current exposure to vapors and aerosols of bitumen in humans are limited. To assess the influence of 18 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes coding for enzymes involved in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and amine metabolism regarding their impact on urinary markers 1-hydroxpyrene (1-OHP) and the...
