GlutathioneS-transferase M1 and T1 and cytochrome P4501A1 polymorphisms in relation to the risk for benign and malignant head and neck lesions
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Susceptibility to head and neck cancer in a particular individual may depend in part on the metabolic balance between Phase 1 enzymes, such as cytochromes P450 (CYPs), and Phase II enzymes, such as glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Genetic variability in CYP and GST isoenzymes may contribute to individual differences in susceptibility to chemical carcinogenesis. GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes as well...
