Abstract excerpt
Genetically based differences in metabolism, related to MspI restriction site and Ile-Val polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 gene and the null genotype of glutathione transferase class mu (GSTM1), have been reported to be associated with lung cancer susceptibility. The present study w...
