| Abstract | Genetic variations in xenobiotic metabolizing genes can influence susceptibility to many environmentally induced cancers. Inheritance of the N-acetyltransferase 1 allele (NAT1*10), linked with increased metabolic activation of pro-carcinogens, is associated with an increased susceptibility to many cancers in which cigarette- or meat-derived carcinogens have been implicated in their etiology. The role of NAT1*10 in prostate cancer is under studied. Although cigarette smoking is not considered a risk factor for prostate cancer, a recent review suggests it may play a role in disease progression. Consequently, we examined the association of NAT1*10 with prostate cancer risk, grade, and stage among 400 Finnish male smokers using a case–control study design. Following genotyping of 206 patients and 196 healthy controls, our results do not support the role of NAT1*10 in relation to prostate cancer risk (OR = 1.28; 95% CI, 0.66–2.47), aggressive disease (OR = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.13–2.67), or advanced disease (OR = 1.19; 95% CI, 0.49–2.91). |
