Abstract excerpt
Increased cancer risk has been associated with functional polymorphisms that occur within the genes coding for the N-acetyltransferase enzymes NAT1 and NAT2. We detected two NAT1 polymorphisms in colorectal cancer patients by heteroduplex analysis. DNA sequencing revealed the wild-type sequence (NAT1*4) and two single base substitutions at adjacent positions 999 bp (C to T, NAT1*14) and 1000 bp (G to A, NAT1*15)...
