NAD(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (<em>NQO1</em>) P187S Polymorphism and Prostate Cancer Risk in Caucasians

NAD(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 (<em>NQO1</em>) P187S Polymorphism and Prostate Cancer Risk in Caucasians

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) catalyses the reduction of quinoid compounds to hydroquinones, preventing the generation of free radicals and reactive oxygen. A “C” to “T” transversion at position 609 of <em>NQO1</em>, leading to a nonsynonymous amino acid change...
