CYP1A1 m1 and m2 polymorphisms: genetic susceptibility to lung cancer Polimorfismos dos alelos m1 e m2 do gene CYP1A1: Susceptibilidade genética para o cancro do pulmão

Lung cancer is considered an environment-related disease that develops as a consequence of exposure to mutagenic agents, namely those present in tobacco. The CYP1A1 gene codifies the phase I enzyme aryl hydrocarbon hydroxilase (AHH) belonging to the cytochrome P450 system that plays a major role in...
