Because NAT2 is an important enzyme for the detoxification and/or bioactivation of several carcinogenic arylamines, it has been postulated that the polymorphism of NAT2 gene is associated with the occurrence of colorectal and bladder carcinomas. Several mutations have been described in the human NAT2 gene that have been associated with...
