Abstract excerpt
The enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) catalyses bioreduction and bioactivation reactions. A mutation in the NQO1 gene had previously been demonstrated in a cancer cell line with reduced NQO1 activity. In this study, several regions of the NQO1 locus were examined for constitutional variation at the DNA level. The previously described mutation in exon 6 was detected by the single-strand conformation...
