Abstract excerpt
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) plays an important role in the detoxification of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. EPHX1 Tyr113His and His139Arg polymorphisms have been reported to have some impacts on the EPHX1 activity. Previous case-control studies assessing the associations between EPHX1 polymorphisms and esophageal cancer risk reported conflicting results. To quantitatively summarize the...
