Abstract excerpt
Gene-environment interaction studies have led to the identification of genetic mutations in individuals with increased susceptibility to pollution related diseases. rs1800566 polymorphism of NQO1, leading to P187S missense mutation in the transcribed antioxidant protein, causes individuals carrying this mutation more prone to NO2 induced lung inflammatory injury. Here, we report significant structural and...
