Abstract excerpt
Tobacco smoking is the most important risk factor for bladder cancer. Previous studies have identified the N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) gene in association with bladder cancer risk. The NAT2 gene encodes an enzyme that metabolizes aromatic amines, carcinogens commonly found in tobacco smoke. In our study, we evaluated potential interactions of tobacco smoking with NAT2 genotypes and polygenic risk score (PRS) for...
