Increased frequency of wild-type arylamine-N-acetyltransferase allele NAT2*4 homozygotes in Portuguese patients with colorectal cancer.

Carcinogenesis - 1 Jan 1998

Gil J P, Lechner M C

Abstract excerpt

Here we report that colorectal cancer patients show a markedly higher frequency (3-fold) of wild-type NAT2*4 allele homozygotes than the control population. However, a marked difference in NAT2*4/NAT2*4 genotype frequency associated with the patients gender was observed pointing to a male-specific effect of this genotype as a risk factor in colon cancer. The arylamine-N-acetyltransferase (E.C. 2.3.1.5.) NAT2, a...
