Abstract excerpt
A homozygous gene deletion at the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) M1 locus of genomic DNA isolated from the peripheral blood was investigated for its relationship with lung and oral cancer using the polymerase chain reaction (RCR) technique. DNA samples were prepared from 91 healthy controls, 53 lung cancer patients and 48 oral cancer patients. As for the genotype, 38 of 91 healthy controls (41.7%), 27 of 53 lung...
