Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported on an association of genetic susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with two polymorphisms of the CYP1A1 gene, an MspI polymorphism and an isoleucine-valine (Ile-Val) polymorphism. We report here that the two CYP1A1 polymorphisms were associated with current or ex-smokers with adenocarcinoma of the lung. We first compared smoking status of the patients by differentiation...
