title: [Polymorphism of N-acetyltransferase-2 and pathogenesis of neoplastic diseases].
abstract: Pathogenesis of many diseases is connected with influence of environmental factors with individual genetic sensitivity dependent among others on detoxification enzymes. Mutations of N-acetyltransferase-2 lead to decreased enzyme function. In this review the focus is on discussion about the connection between the polymorphic N-acetyltransferase-2 and increase in the risk of cancer, atopic disease and adverse drug effects.
