Journal ArticleDOI

Increased risk for hepatocellular carcinoma in NAT2-slow acetylators and CYP2D6-rapid metabolizers

TL;DR: The genetic polymorphism of NAT2 is a relevant factor in the risk for developing HCC (inverse odds ratio slow vs rapid = 1.8; 95% CI 1.1-3.0) and the additional determination of alleles of the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) gene in the same subjects confirmed the previous findings that subjects with two active CYP2D 6 genes are at increased risk of developing H CC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression in human prostate of drug- and carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes: association with prostate cancer risk.

TL;DR: The presence of carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes in human prostate with a high interindividual variability may be involved in the regulation of local levels of carcinogens and mutagens and may underlie interindividual differences in cancer susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slow allotypic variants of the NAT2 gene and susceptibility to early-onset Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Slow-acetylation-mutated alleles may be considered low-penetrance genes in early-onset PD pathogenesis, with a relative risk ratio for individuals with slow- acetylation genotype of 2.92 (95% CI, 1.26 to 6.78).
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative polymorphism of debrisoquine in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: A negative correlation was found between MR of DBQ and age at onset of disease in patients free of drugs known to interact with DBQ metabolism, which could be a genetic factor that delays the clinical onset of Parkinson's disease in predisposed people.
