The polymorphic arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT1 and NAT2) have been implicated in increased susceptibility to certain malignancies. We analyzed genetic polymorphisms in both the NAT1 and NAT2 genes among 140 gastric adenocarcinoma patients, 103 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients and 122 healthy
Although inconsistencies exist, some studies have shown that meat consumption is associated with breast cancer risk. Several heterocyclic amines (HAs), formed in the cooking of meats, are mammary carcinogens in laboratory models. HAs are activated by polymorphic N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) and rapid
