## Abstract Cancer risk can be influenced by the exposure to endogenous or environmental toxins. Polymorphic enzymes involved in the metabolic activation/detoxification of carcinogens may account for individual variations of risk. We studied the polymorphisms of five enzymes of the P450 superfamily
**Summary.** Patients with haemophilia show high prevalence of hepatitis C infection but low rate of progressive liver disease when they are not coβinfected with HIV. The balance between host immune system and hepatitis C virus (HCV) variability seems to play a major role in the evolution of the HCV
