Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Polymorphisms in the genes that code for metabolic enzymes involved in either the activation (Phase I) or detoxication (Phase II) of chemical carcinogens in tobacco, may alter expression or function of carcinogenic compounds and hence alter risk of oral cancer. The present study investigates whether polymorphisms at CYP1A1 and GSTM1 gene loci act as risk factors for oral precancerous lesions and cancer....
