Abstract excerpt
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is involved in the metabolism of tobacco-derived carcinogens. Polymorphisms in exons 3 and 4 of the EPHX gene have been reported to be associated with variations in mEH activity. We examined whether the predicted mEH activity modified the lung cancer risk among...
