Journal Article

Metabolic gene polymorphism frequencies in control populations.

TL;DR: Using the International Project on Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogens (GSEC) database containing information on over 15,000 control (noncancer) subjects, the allele and genotype frequencies for many of the more commonly studied metabolic genes in the human population were determined.
Journal Article

Molecular genetics and epidemiology of the NAT1 and NAT2 acetylation polymorphisms.

TL;DR: Large-scale molecular epidemiological studies that investigate the role of NAT1 and NAT2 genotypes and/or phenotypes together with other genetic susceptibility gene polymorphisms and biomarkers of carcinogen exposure are necessary to expand the current understanding of the roles of NAT2 acetylation polymorphisms in cancer risk.
Journal Article

N-acetylation pharmacogenetics.

Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular genetics and function of NAT1 and NAT2: role in aromatic amine metabolism and carcinogenesis.

TL;DR: The high frequency of the NAT1 and NAT2 acetylation polymorphisms in human populations together with ubiquitous exposure to aromatic and heterocyclic amines suggest that NAT 1 and NAT 2 acetylator genotypes are important modifiers of human cancer susceptibility.
