Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in metabolic enzyme genes may enhance hematotoxicity in benzene-exposed populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between polymorphisms of metabolism genes and white blood cells (WBCs). METHODS: Three hundred and eighty-five benzene-exposed workers and 220 unexposed indoor workers were recruited in China. We explored the relationship between metabolic enzymes...
