Abstract excerpt
We conducted a case-control study to assess the risk of lung cancer in relation to genetic polymorphisms of the detoxifying enzymes glutathione-S-transferase mu1 (GSTM1) and N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2), focusing on never-smokers, women, and older people. The study base consisted of persons > or...
