Abstract excerpt
Members of the cytochrome P450 and glutathione S-transferase supergene families are candidates for susceptibility and outcome in oral squamous cell cancer. We determined GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTT1, CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 genotypes in 100 Caucasian cases and 467 control individuals. The frequency of homozygosity for mutant CYP2D6 alleles was higher in the cases (P = 0.001, OR = 3.2, 95% CI = 1.6-6.5) than control individuals....
