What are Some Examples of Genetic Variations Impacting Toxicology?
Several genetic variations have been identified that impact toxicology:
GSTM1: Deletion of this gene can impair detoxification of carcinogens, increasing cancer risk. NAT2: Variations can lead to slow or fast acetylation, affecting the metabolism of certain drugs and carcinogens. ALDH2: Variations can impact alcohol metabolism, influencing the risk of alcohol-related disorders.
