Abstract:
:The risk of lung and urinary bladder cancers was reported to be increased in individuals who carried high risk genotypes in either cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1, CYP2E1 or glutathione S-transferase (GST)M1, and the combined genotype of both CYP1A1 and GSTM1 enzymes have an enhanced tendency of risk to lung cancer more significantly. On the other hand, gene-environmental interactions have to be considered precisely, and are indicated to be more pronounced at lower levels of cigarette exposure in which the susceptibility to lung cancer increased in the case of individuals with some mutated alleles. In each category, however, there are several confused and controversial results. These early predictions of genetic disposition for the incidence of such severe disease as cancer may prompt them to receive early examination and diagnosis and to expect a complete cure from the diseases for their life.
