Abstract excerpt
The gene-environment associations between potential carcinogenic agents modified by polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) gene and lung cancer risk were assessed in a hospital-based case-control study composed of African- and Mexican-Americans. The study involved 171 cases and 295 con...
