Abstract excerpt
Pesticide exposure may be associated with increased risk of genotoxicity and carcinogenesis. These risks may be affected by polymorphisms of genes for glutathione transferase-dependent metabolism of pesticides and for DNA repair. We studied the prevalence of GSTP1 and XRCC1 polymorphisms and their possible correlation with DNA damage following prolonged pesticide exposure. DNA damage was estimated by the comet...
