## Abstract Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may be associated with differences in the capacity to repair DNA damage and thereby influence an individual's susceptibility to smokingโrelated cancer. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the potential association of 7 __XPC__ polymorphisms (โ449Gโ
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Cancer patients who use tobacco demonstrate characteristics of strong nicotine dependence and are at increased risk for future tobaccoโrelated morbidity and mortality. Continued smoking may contribute to poorer cancer treatment outcome and additional illness. In contrast,
## Abstract Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors bind to nicotine and initiate the physiological and pharmacological responses to tobacco smoking. In this report, we studied the association of ฮฑ5 and ฮฑ3 subunits with nicotine dependence and with the symptoms of alcohol and cannabis abuse and dependenc
Debrisoquine hydroxylation exhibits wide inter-individual variation in Caucasian populations. After similar doses of the drug, extensive metabolizers excrete up to several hundred times more of the urinary metabolite 4-hydroxy-debrisoquine than do poor metabolizers.
