Abstract
The incidence of 5 polymorphisms of N-acetyltransferase-2 gene was evaluated in patients with lung cancer. A803G polymorphism is a factor of lung cancer resistance in tobacco smoking Caucasians in Novosibirsk. Opposite effects of NAT2 gene polymorphisms on the risk of lung cancer are possible.
