Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is responsible for the majority of deaths among all types of cancer. Lifestyle factors may not only be the main risk factor for GI cancer but reactive oxygen species (ROS) may also be involved. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 609C>T (rs1800566) and 465C>T (rs1131341) in the NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) gene lead to a decline in NQO1 enzyme activity. NQO1...
