Polymorphisms in xenobiotic metabolism-related genes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a case-control study.

This study was performed to investigate the relationship between polymorphisms in microsomal epoxide hydrolase (; Tyr113His and His139Arg substitution) and glutathione S-transferase (; deletion, deletion, and .Ala114Val substitution) and their correlation with clinico-histopathological features in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).We evaluated environmental risk factors and genetic alterations in 556 individuals (86 cases and 470 controls).
