Abstract excerpt
The NAT1 gene exhibits polymorphisms in the non-coding polyadenylation region with a number of alleles. Of these alleles, NAT1*10 is responsible for increased NAT1 enzyme levels and is reported to be associated with increased risk for colorectal and bladder cancers. In view of the possible role of the NAT1 gene product in the metabolism of a number of cigarette smoke carcinogens, we tested the possibility that...
