Abstract
One of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in males is prostate cancer. The latest molecular studies revealed the interconnection of genetic polymorphism of N acetyltransferase (NAT) and Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) gene in the genesis of prostate cancer. The study's aim was to find out the association of NAT2, GSTT1, and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms with the risk of prostate cancer in the Bangladeshi population. This case-control study included 207 histopathologically diagnosed cases of prostate cancer and 200 age-matched healthy controls. After taking informed written consent, 5.0 ml of venous blood was collected to extract genomic DNA for genetic analysis ofNAT2, GSTT1& GSTM1 by PCR-RFLP by multiplex PCR methods. In this study, the mean±SD age of cases and control was 67.3±8.3, and 62.2±6.8 years, respectively. A higher frequency of mutant NAT2*5A, NAT2*6A, and NAT2*7A in prostate cancer cases was observed in this study, in comparison to controls. Prostate cancer risk was found considerably increased in patients with NAT2 slow genotypes, GSTT1 and GSTM1 null genotypes, compared to control. Furthermore, Prostate cancer risk was found very significantly associated with the presence of combined genotypes that included NAT2 (slow), GSTT1 (null), and GSTM1 (null), and the risk rose 9.64-fold when compared to the wild genotype for NAT1, GSTT1, and GSTM1. Again, it was observed that individuals with positive smoking history/family history of cancer along with NAT2 slow genotype had significantly increased risk for prostate cancer. Moreover, the likelihood of developing a moderate to a high-grade tumor (Gleason score 7), as well as locally progressed or metastatic prostate cancer was considerably greater in persons with NAT2 slow genotypes, GSTT1, and GSTM1 null genotypes. This study established the association of genetic polymorphisms of NAT2, GSTT1, and GSTM1 genes with prostate cancer risk in the Bangladeshi population.

Abstract
Aim: The present study has been carried out to evaluate the association of the N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2) variants in North Indian lung cancer patients and healthy controls. Furthermore, we have also determined the effect of the polymorphic variants of the NAT2 gene on the clinical outcomes and overall survival among lung cancer (LC) subjects treated with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Methods: This case-control study comprised a total of 550 cases and 550 healthy controls. The genotyping was carried out using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and the statistical analysis was carried out using MedCalc. Results: There was a lack of any significant association for both 590G>A and 803A>G polymorphisms toward risk for LC, but 857G>A polymorphism exhibited a risk toward LC (p = 0.005). Whereas, variant alleles for the 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk for LC (p = 0.0003). Further, 857G>A polymorphism conferred a positive association between genotype and ADCC (p = 0.001) and 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk for SQCC (OR = 0.39, p = 0.0006) and SCLC (p = 0.001) subjects. The smokers carrying mutant genotype for the 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk toward LC (p < 0.0001) even in light (p = 0.002) as well as heavy smokers (p = 0.001). In case of females, 2.59-fold and 3.66-fold increased risk of LC development was observed in subjects with intermediate and slow acetylator for the 857G>A polymorphism. Whereas, in case of males this polymorphism depicts a reduced risk for LC. On the other hand, 803A>G depicted a 2.82-fold risk of LC in case of female subjects who were slow acetylators. Our study exhibits a significant difference in the overall haplotype distribution between cases and controls. In our study overall, (857G>A, 481C>T, 803A>G) was found to be best model, but was not significant using MDR. Considering the CART results 481C>T polymorphism came out to be the most significant factor in determining the LC risk. For the 803A>G polymorphism, a threefold odds of lymph node invasion were observed for mutant genotype, the recessive model exhibited an odd of 2.8. 590G>A appears to be a potential prognostic factor for OS of SCLC patients after irinotecan therapy as the survival time for such patients was better. Conclusion: These results suggest that NAT2 variant genotype for 590G>A and 803A>G was not found to modulate risk toward LC, but 857G>A polymorphism exhibited a risk toward LC and 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk for LC. NAT2 590G>A appears to be a potential prognostic factor for OS of SCLC patients after irinotecan therapy and 481C>T came out to be significant factor using CART.

Allelic and genotypic frequencies of NAT2, CYP2E1, and AADAC genes in a cohort of Peruvian tuberculosis patients. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2021; 9:e1764.

Abstract
Background We determined the frequency of genetic polymorphisms in three anti‐TB drug metabolic proteins previously reported: N‐acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), and arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) within a Peruvian population in a cohort of TB patients. Methods We genotyped SNPs rs1041983, rs1801280, rs1799929, rs1799930, rs1208, and rs1799931 for NAT2; rs3813867 and rs2031920 for CYP2E1; and rs1803155 for AADAC in 395 participants completed their antituberculosis treatment. Results Seventy‐four percent of the participants are carriers of slow metabolizer genotypes: NAT2*5, NAT2*6, and NAT2*7, which increase the sensitivity of INH at low doses and increase the risk of drug‐induced liver injuries. Sixty‐four percent are homozygous for the wild‐type CYP2E1*1A allele, which could increase the risk of hepatotoxicity. However, 16% had a NAT2 fast metabolizer phenotype which could increase the risk of acquiring resistance to INH, thereby increasing the risk of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) or treatment failure. The frequency of rs1803155 (AADAC*2 allele) was higher (99.9%) in Peruvians than in European American, African American, Japanese, and Korean populations. Conclusions This high prevalence of slow metabolizers for isoniazid in the Peruvian population should be further studied and considered to help individualize drug regimens, especially in countries with a great genetic diversity like Peru. These data will help the Peruvian National Tuberculosis Control Program develop new strategies for therapies.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and has a high incidence rate. N-Acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a polymorphic xenobiotic enzyme, which can catalyze N-acetylation and O-acetylation of various carcinogens such as aromatic, heterocyclic amines and hydrazines. At present, many studies have explored the effects of NAT2 polymorphism on lung cancer, but we found inconsistent results. We researched 18 published studies, involving 4,016 patients and 5,469 controls, to more accurately assess the effects of NAT2 polymorphism on lung cancer risk and to investigate whether smoking is associated. We used STATA software to analyze the extracted data and used STATA for subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and to perform publication bias tests. To determine the correlation, we used the crude odds ratio (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs). Our study was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020159737). The odds ratio was 1.53 (95% CI: 1.21–1.95, I² = 45.2%, P=0.104) for the NAT2 slow + intermediate phenotype versus rapid phenotype. The results suggested that people with NAT2 non-rapid (slow + intermediate) phenotype have a significantly increased risk of lung cancer. In addition, NAT2 rapid phenotype was significantly associated with reduced risk of lung cancer, compared with slow phenotype or intermediate phenotype (slow phenotype vs. rapid phenotype: OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.07–2.42, I²= 50%, P= 0.075; intermediate phenotype vs. rapid phenotype: OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.15–1.88, I²= 40.3%, P= 0.137).

Abstract
Background N-acetyltransferase 2 plays a crucial role in the metabolism of a wide range of xenobiotics, including many drugs, carcinogens, and other chemicals in the human environment. The article presents for the first time data on the frequency of two important “slow” variants of NAT2 gene (NAT2*5, rs1801280 and NAT2*7, rs1799931), which significantly affect the rate of xenobiotics acetylation, among representatives of indigenous populations of Forest and Tundra Nenets in Northern Siberia. The aim of this study was to identify the frequencies of these variants and compare them with frequencies in other ethnic populations. Results NAT2*5 (T341C) genotyping revealed frequencies of 28,0% and 38,6% for Tundra and Forest Nenets, respectively. The frequencies of NAT2*7 (G857A) variant were 9,8% and 8,2% for Tundra and Forest Nenets, respectively. Polymorphic variants frequencies for Nenets are intermediate between those in populations of Europeans and Asians. These results can probably be explained by the presence of both European and Asian components in Nenets gene pools. Conclusions The results of this study expand the knowledge of NAT2 polymorphism in world populations. These data may also help assess the genetic predisposition of Nenets to multifactorial diseases associated with polymorphism in the NAT2 gene and, in general, contribute to the development of personalized medicine in reference to native people of Siberia.

Abstract
To further investigate the association between NAT2 polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility.In terms of phenotypes, we investigated the acetylator status of NAT2 polymorphisms associated with lung cancer risk. Additionally, in view of genotypes, we mainly analyzed 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NAT2 gene, namely C282T, A803G, C481T, G590A, and G857A. Twenty-six eligible studies were included in our meta-analysis by searching PubMed, Embase, and CNKI databases. We used odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the susceptibility to lung cancer associated with NAT2 polymorphisms.Overall, based on phenotypes, the pooled ORs showed no significant association between NAT2 polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility. In the subgroup analyses by ethnicity and source of control, there was still no significant association. In terms of genotypes, overall, no obvious relationship was observed between NAT2 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. But increased risk of lung cancer was found in association with NAT2 C282T polymorphism (TT vs. CC + TC: OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.11-2.25).Our meta-analysis demonstrates that TT genotype in NAT2 C282T polymorphism may be a risk factor for lung cancer susceptibility. Additionally, the acetylator status of 5 SNPs in NAT2 gene may not be associated with lung cancer risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tobacco exposure remains the main etiologic factor for lung cancer (LC). Interactions between environment and individual genetic profile are particularly important for this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of CYP1A1*2A, CYP1A1*2C, CYP2D6*4, GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and NAT2 polymorphisms for the susceptibility to LC in a Portuguese population considering their demographic and clinical characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 200 LC and 247 controls subjects from the Centre of Portugal were studied. Clinical and demographic characteristics were collected from clinical files and by individual questionnaires. Polymorphisms of CYP1A1*2A, CYP1A1*2C, CYP2D6*4, GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and NAT2 were genotyped using PCR-RFLP, PCR multiplex, ARMS and real time. RESULTS Gender, family history of cancer, smoke cessation and alcohol consumption were independent risk factors (p < 0.05). Associations found between phases I and II genes and LC population reveal a sex dependent distribution. Logistic regression analysis demonstrates that enhanced activation by CYPs, associated by reduced or loss of function of phase II enzymes, can lead to a greater risk. GSTP1 and NAT2 polymorphisms studied have a significant contribution for the histological tumour types and the presence of metastases, at time of diagnosis, respectively, when males with smoking habits were considered. CONCLUSION Multiple interactions between environment and individual characteristics are clearly associated to this disease. Variants of the detoxification genes may act synergistically contributing to this disease and modifying the risk posed by smoking and sex. The GSTT1*0 and GSTP1 (Ile462Val) might contribute to the malignant phenotype through different mechanisms.

Abstract
An increasing number of genetic polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes (DME) were identified among different ethnic groups. Some of these polymorphisms are associated with an increased cancer risk, while others remain equivocal. However, there is sufficient evidence that these associations become significant in populations overexposed to environmental carcinogens. Hence, genetic differences in expression activity of both Phase I and Phase II enzymes may affect cancer risk in exposed populations. In Lebanon, there has been a marked rise in reported cancer incidence since the 1990s. There are also indicators of exposure to unusually high levels of environmental pollutants and carcinogens in the country. This review considers this high cancer incidence by exploring a potential gene-environment model based on available DME polymorphism prevalence, and their impact on bladder, colorectal, prostate, breast, and lung cancer in the Lebanese population. The examined DME include glutathione S-transferases (GST), N-acetyltransferases (NAT), and cytochromes P-450 (CYP). Data suggest that these DME influence bladder cancer risk in the Lebanese population. Evidence indicates that identification of a gene-environment interaction model may help in defining future research priorities and preventive cancer control strategies in this country, particularly for breast and lung cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in the world. The major socio-environmental risk factor involved in the development of lung cancer is cigarette smoking. Additionally, there are multiple genetic factors, which may also play a role in lung cancer risk. Early work focused on the presence of relatively prevalent but low-penetrance alterations in candidate genes leading to increased risk of lung cancer. Development of new technologies such as genomic profiling and genome-wide association studies has been helpful in the detection of new genetic variants likely involved in lung cancer risk. In this review, we discuss the role of multiple genetic variants and review their putative role in the risk of lung cancer. Identifying genetic biomarkers and patterns of genetic risk may be useful in the earlier detection and treatment of lung cancer patients.

Abstract
The arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzymes detoxify a wide range of naturally occurring xenobiotics including carcinogens and drugs. Point mutations in the NAT2 gene result in the variant alleles M1 (NAT2 *5A), M2 (NAT2*6A), M3 (NAT2*7) and M4 (NAT2 *14A) from the wild-type WT (NAT2 *4) allele. The current study was aimed at screening genetic polymorphisms of NAT2 gene in 49 lung cancer patients, 54 colorectal cancer patients and 99 cancer-free controls, using PCR-RFLP. There were significant differences in allele frequencies between lung cancer patients and controls in the WT, M2 and M3 alleles (p < 0.05). However, only M2 and M3 allele frequencies were different between colorectal cancer patients and controls (p < 0.05). There was a marginal significant difference in the distribution of rapid and slow acetylator genotypes between lung cancer patients and controls (p = 0.06 and p = 0.05, respectively), but not between colorectal cancer patients and controls (p = 1.0 and p = 0.95, respectively). Risk of lung cancer development was found to be lower in slow acetylators [odds ratio (OR): 0.51, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.25, 1.02, p-value = 0.07]. No effect was observed in case of colorectal cancer. Our results showed that NAT2 genotypes and phenotypes might be involved in lung cancer but not colorectal cancer susceptibility in Jordan.

[PMID: 23226745 PMCID: PMC3493788 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2012.695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2012] [Accepted: 08/29/2012] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have implicated NAT2 polymorphisms as risk factors for various types of cancer. Colorectal adenomas are recognized as a pre-neoplastic lesion. A growing body of research documenting the association of NAT2 polymorphisms with the risk of colorectal adenomas has yielded conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to derive a more precise estimation of this association. Meta-analyses assessing the association of NAT2 variants with colorectal adenomas were conducted and subgroup analyses on smoking status and the source of the controls were also performed. Eligible studies were identified for the period before March 2012. A total of seven case-control studies, including 3,197 cases and 4,681 controls, were selected following extensive searching and screening. In the overall data, no associations between NAT2 polymorphisms and colorectal adenomas were observed [odds ratio (OR), 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.90-1.21]. However, in the subgroup analysis concerning smoking status, slow acetylator variants were revealed to be correlated with increased colorectal adenoma risk in individuals who have smoked (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.04-1.64). In conclusion, the data of the present study suggested that NAT2 polymorphisms may be a risk factor for colorectal adenomas in individuals who have a history of smoking.

PLoS One 2012; 7:e42797. [PMID: 22905173 PMCID: PMC3419224 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0042797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2012] [Accepted: 07/11/2012] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been an increasing number of studies with evidence suggesting that the N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genotypes may be implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal adenoma (CRA). So far the published data on this association has remained controversial, however. We performed a meta-analysis of case-cohort and case-control studies using a subset of the published data, with an aim to derive a better understanding of the underlying relationship. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A literature search was performed using Medline database for relevant studies published through October 31, 2011. A total of 39 publications were selected for this meta-analysis, including 11,724 cases and 16,215 controls for CRC, and 3,701 cases and 5,149 controls for CRA. In our pooled analysis of all these studies, the results of our meta-analysis suggested that the NAT1 genotype was not significantly associated with an elevated CRC risk (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.91-1.07). We also found that individuals with the rapid NAT2 genotype did have an elevated risk of CRC (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.13). There was no evidence for an association between the NAT1 and 2 rapid genotype and an elevated CRA risk (NAT1: OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.99-1.29; NAT2: OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.86-1.03). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that individuals with NAT2 genotype had an elevated risk of CRC. There was no evidence for the association between NAT1 and 2 rapid genotype and CRA risk.

Absence of association between N-acetyltransferase 2 acetylator status and colorectal cancer susceptibility: based on evidence from 40 studies. PLoS One 2012; 7:e32425. [PMID: 22403658 PMCID: PMC3293792 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0032425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2011] [Accepted: 01/26/2012] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES N-Acetyltransferase (NAT) 2 is an important enzyme involved in the metabolism of different xenobiotics, including potential carcinogens, whose phenotypes were reported to be related to individual susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the results remain conflicting. To assess the relationship between NAT2 phenotypes and CRC risk, we performed this meta-analysis. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify all case-control or cohort studies of NAT2 acetylator status on the susceptibility of CRC by searching of PubMed and EMBASE, up to May 20, 2011. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. RESULTS A total of over 40,000 subjects from 40 published literatures were identified by searching the databases. No significantly elevated CRC risk in individuals with NAT2 slow acetylators compared with fast acetylators was found when all studies pooled (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.87-1.04, I(2) = 52.6%). While three studies contributed to the source of heterogeneity were removed, there was still null result observed (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.90-1.03, P = 0.17 for heterogeneity, I(2) = 17.8%). In addition, we failed to detect any associations in the stratified analyses by race, sex, source of controls, smoking status, genotyping methods or tumor localization. No publication bias was observed in this study. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that the NAT2 phenotypes may not be associated with colorectal cancer development.

Abstract
Individual susceptibility to the toxic effects of cigarette smoke may be modified by inherited variability in carcinogen metabolism. The purpose of the present study was to investigate pancreatic cancer risk associated with cigarette smoking and 33 variants within carcinogen metabolism genes and examine whether these variants modify the association between smoking and pancreatic cancer. A population-based study was conducted with 455 pancreatic cancer cases and 893 controls. Epidemiological and smoking data were collected from questionnaires and variants were genotyped by mass spectrometry. Age- and sex-adjusted odds ratio (ASOR) and multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (MVOR) estimates were obtained using multivariate logistic regression, and interactions between each variant and smoking were investigated. Current smoker status [MVOR = 2.29, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.62, 3.22], 10-27 pack-years (MVOR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.18), >27 pack-years (MVOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.27, 2.46) and longer durations of smoking (19-32 years: MVOR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.05; >32 years: MVOR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.30, 2.45) were associated with increased pancreatic cancer risk. CYP1B1-4390-GG (ASOR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.86) and Uridine 5'-diphospho glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A7-622-CT (ASOR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.60, 0.99) were associated with reduced risk. N-acetyltransferase 1-640-GT/GG (ASOR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.00, 3.05), GSTM1 (rs737497)-GG (ASOR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.95), GSTM1 gene deletion (ASOR = 4.89, 95% CI: 3.52, 6.79) and glutathione S-transferase theta-1 gene deletion (ASOR = 4.41, 95% CI: 2.67, 7.29) were associated with increased risk. Significant interactions were observed between pack-years and EPHX1-415 (P = 0.04) and smoking status and N-acetyltransferase 2-857 (P = 0.03). Variants of carcinogen metabolism genes are independently associated with pancreatic cancer risk and may modify the risk posed by smoking.

Abstract
N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a key enzyme involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and plays a significant role in the detoxification of numerous potential carcinogens. According to its acetylation status, NAT2 acetylator may be classified into two phenotypes, rapid and slow. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the polymorphisms of NAT2 were correlated with individual susceptibility to several malignant neoplasms, including head and neck carcinomas (HNC). However, the associations between the acetylator phenotypes and HNC risk in each study were not entirely consistent. To assess these associations more comprehensively, we performed a meta-analysis. In this meta-analysis, 16 eligible studies including 2,965 cases with HNC and 3,919 controls were identified by searching the databases of PubMed, Medline and the ISI Web of Knowledge. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to evaluate the association. No significant associations between the rapid acetylator phenotype in NAT2 and HNC risk were found either in the overall analysis (OR=0.98; 95% CI 0.83, 1.15; I(2)=57%; P(heterogeneity)=0.003) or in the subgroup analysis by ethnicity (for the Caucasian population, OR=1.03, 95% CI 0.85, 1.24, I(2)=63%, P(heterogeneity)=0.002; for other mixed populations, OR=0.78, 95% CI=0.61, 1.00, I(2)=0%, P(heterogeneity)=0.47). In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that there is no association between the NAT2 phenotype and the risk of HNC.

Abstract
PURPOSE N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) plays an important role in the metabolism of various potential carcinogens, which can be subdivided into rapid and slow acetylation phenotype according to the different genotypes. A number of studies have been devoted to the association of NAT2 polymorphism with susceptibility to laryngeal carcinoma; however, the results were inconsistent and inconclusive. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the possible association of NAT2 polymorphism with laryngeal cancer risk. METHODS The relevant studies were identified through a search of PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure until February 2011 and selected on the basis of the established inclusion criteria for publications, and then a meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively summarize the association of NAT2 polymorphism with laryngeal cancer susceptibility. RESULTS Seven studies were included in the present meta-analysis, which described a total of 980 laryngeal cancer cases and 1,487 controls. The overall odds ratio (OR) for NAT2 slow and rapid acetylators was 0.99 (95% CI = 0.71-1.38) and 1.01 (95% CI = 0.72-1.40), respectively. When stratifying for race, the pooled ORs for NAT2 slow acetylator were 1.99 (95% CI = 1.10-3.63) in Asians and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.62-1.15) in Caucasians, and the pooled ORs for NAT2 rapid acetylator were 0.50 (95% CI = 0.28-0.91) in Asians and 1.18 (95% CI = 0.87-1.60) in Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggested that there was overall lack of association between NAT2 polymorphism and laryngeal cancer risk; however, NAT2 slow acetylation may contribute to a risk factor for laryngeal cancer in Asians but not in Caucasians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), which are complex genetic disorders resulting from the interplay between several genetic and environmental risk factors. The arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme detoxifies a wide spectrum of naturally occurring xenobiotics including carcinogens and drugs. Acetylation catalyzed by NAT2 is an important process in metabolic activation of arylamines to electrophilic intermediates that initiate carcinogenesis. The aim of our study was to determine whether there is any association between the susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease among the variations of NAT2 genotypes. METHODS This study was carried out in 80 patients with IBD. The control group consisted of 100 healthy volunteers. The most common mutations found in the Caucasian population are at the positions 481T, 803G, 590A and 857A on the NAT2 gene. This was determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method with DNA extracted from peripheral blood. RESULTS Risk of IBD development was 3.86 for the carriers of the NAT2*5/NAT2*7 genotype and 2.53 for the carriers with NAT2*6/NAT2*7, but it was not statistically significant. A statistically significant correlation between the NAT2*7 allele prevalence and the risk for developing IBD was found (OR = 5.8; P = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Higher prevalence of the NAT2*7 allele in patients with IBD and the obtained OR values could suggest that this mutation has the effect of increasing IBD development. Future studies are needed to confirm our assumptions on larger group of patients.

Abstract
Observational studies of human health and disease (basic, clinical and epidemiological) are vulnerable to methodological problems -such as selection bias and confounding- that make causal inferences problematic. Gene-disease associations are no exception, as they are commonly investigated using observational designs. A rich body of knowledge exists in medicine and epidemiology on the assessment of causal relationships involving personal and environmental causes of disease; it includes seminal causal criteria developed by Austin Bradford Hill and more recently applied directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). However, such knowledge has seldom been applied to assess causal relationships in clinical genetics and genomics, even in studies aimed at making inferences relevant for human health. Conversely, incorporating genetic causal knowledge into clinical and epidemiological causal reasoning is still a largely unexplored area. As the contribution of genetics to the understanding of disease aetiology becomes more important, causal assessment of genetic and genomic evidence becomes fundamental. The method we develop in this paper provides a simple and rigorous first step towards this goal. The present paper is an example of integrative research, i.e., research that integrates knowledge, data, methods, techniques, and reasoning from multiple disciplines, approaches and levels of analysis to generate knowledge that no discipline alone may achieve.

Abstract
N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) gene encodes a key enzyme involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and whose polymorphisms have been related to individual susceptibility to several malignancies. Although many epidemiological studies have explored the association between NAT2 genetic polymorphism and lung cancer risk, the results remain controversial. In order to assess the overall relationship between NAT2 polymorphism and lung cancer risk, we performed a meta-analysis including 3945 lung cancer cases and 6085 controls from 19 published studies which were selected from 29 articles identified by a search of PubMed up to 1st June 2010. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. No significant association was found in overall analysis (OR=1.02, 95% CI=0.90-1.16, P=0.01 for heterogeneity) and in subgroup analyses by ethnicity, sex, histological type, smoking status and study design. In conclusion, this meta-analysis found little evidence of an association between the NAT2 polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a polymorphic enzyme that plays an important role in the metabolism of various potential carcinogens. NAT2 can be subdivided into rapid and slow acetylation phenotype according to the different genotypes. Studies investigating the association between NAT2 polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk in humans showed conflicting results. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the association of NAT2 acetylation phenotype with risk of gastric cancer. METHODS Relevant studies were identified through a search of Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge, Medline and Chinese Biomedicine Database until January 2010. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively summarize association of NAT2 acetylation phenotype with GC susceptibility. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included in the present meta-analysis, which described a total of 2,391 gastric cancer cases and 3,237 controls. The combined ORs for NAT2 slow or rapid acetylator and gastric cancer risk were 1.05 (95% CI 0.810-1.35) and 0.96 (95% CI 0.74-1.23), respectively. When stratifying for race and Lauren's classification, results also showed no significant association in genotype distribution between gastric cancer and control. CONCLUSIONS No association is found between NAT2 acetylation status and gastric cancer risk in this meta-analysis.

Abstract
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is carcinogenic in multiple organs and numerous species. Bioactivation of PhIP is initiated by PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation catalysed by cytochrome P450s. Following N-hydroxylation, O-acetylation catalysed by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is considered a further possible activation pathway. Genetic polymorphisms in NAT2 may modify cancer risk following exposure. Nucleotide excision repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with human cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) and a single copy of either NAT2*4 (rapid acetylator) or NAT2*5B (slow acetylator) alleles were used to test the effect of CYP1A1 and NAT2 polymorphism on PhIP genotoxicity. Cells transfected with NAT2*4 had significantly higher levels of N-hydroxy-PhIP O-acetyltransferase (p = 0.0150) activity than cells transfected with NAT2*5B. Following PhIP treatment, CHO cell lines transfected with CYP1A1, CYP1A1/NAT2*4 and CYP1A1/NAT2*5B each showed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) mutagenesis not observed in untransfected CHO cells. dG-C8-PhIP was the primary DNA adduct formed and levels were dose dependent in transfected CHO cells in the order: CYP1A1 < CYP1A1 and NAT2*5B < CYP1A1 and NAT2*4, although levels did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) following one-way analysis of variance. These results strongly support activation of PhIP by CYP1A1 with little effect of human NAT2 genetic polymorphism on mutagenesis and DNA damage.

Abstract
Polymorphisms that alter the function of genes involved in the activation or detoxification of carcinogenic compounds can influence an individuals risk of developing cancer. Polymorphic changes modulating the acetylation capacity of the N-acetyltransferase (NAT) genes have been implicated in the risk of developing cancer. In this study the role of genetically determined individual NAT1 and NAT2 genotypes, haplotypes and haplotype combinations in the predisposition to head and neck cancer was investigated. Polymorphic regions of the NAT1 and NAT2 genes were analyzed in patients with head and neck cancer and healthy individuals by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Distribution of the genotypes, allele frequencies, diplotypes and haplotypes and correlation with clinical characteristics were evaluated. No association was observed between the NAT1*3, NAT1*10, NAT1*11, NAT2*5 and NAT2*6 genotypes and risk of head and neck cancer. The NAT2*7 slow genotype was associated with reduced risk of disease. A significant association was observed between the fast acetylator NAT2*4/NAT1*10 diplotype and risk of head and neck cancer. Combined haplotypes harboring the T1088A and C1095A variants characterizing the NAT1*10 allele were associated with increased risk. Our results suggest that NAT1 and NAT2 gene combinations may influence the risk of developing head and neck cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Translational research is needed to explore how people will respond to personal genetic susceptibility information related to common health conditions. Maximizing the rigor of this research will require that genetic test results be returned to study participants. Currently, there is no established method that guides the selection of genetic variants to be used in research with these objectives. METHODS AND RESULTS To address this question, we designed a process to identify gene variants and health conditions to be included in a prototype genetic test for use in a larger research effort, the Multiplex Initiative. The intention of this exploration was to facilitate research that generates individual genetic test results that are returned to study participants. Inclusion criteria were developed as part of a transdisciplinary and iterative process that considered the weight of evidential support for genetic association with common health conditions, the appropriateness of use in human subjects research, and the recommendations of expert peer reviewers. CONCLUSIONS The selection process was designed to identify gene variants for the limited purpose of translational research and, therefore, should not be seen as producing a valid clinical test. However, this example of an applied selection process may provide guidance for researchers who are designing studies to evaluate the implications of genetic susceptibility testing through the return of personalized genetic information. As the rate of genomic discoveries increases, such research will be essential in steering the translation of this information towards the greatest public health benefit.

Abstract
N-Acetyltransferases (NAT) are key enzymes in the conjugation of certain drugs and other xenobiotics with an arylamine structure. Polymorphisms in NAT2 have long been recognized to modulate toxicity produced by the anti-tubercular drug isoniazid, with molecular epidemiologic studies suggesting a link between acetylator phenotype and increased risk for bladder cancer. Recent evidence indicates that the other major NAT isozyme, NAT1, is also polymorphic. The current analysis characterizes the main polymorphisms in both NAT2 and NAT1 in terms of their effect on enzyme activity and frequency in the population. Multiple NAT2 alleles (NAT2*5, *6, *7, and *14) have substantially decreased acetylation activity and are common in Caucasians and populations of African descent. In these groups, most individuals carry at least one copy of a slow acetylator allele, and less than 10% are homozygous for the wild type (fast acetylator) trait. Incorporation of these data into a Monte Carlo modeling framework led to a population distribution of NAT2 activity that was bimodal and associated with considerable variability in each population assessed. The ratio of the median to the first percentile of NAT2 activity ranged from 7 in Caucasians to 18 in the Chinese population. This variability indicates the need for more quantitative approaches (e.g., physiologically based pharmacokinetic [PBPK] modeling) to assess the full distribution of internal dose and adverse responses to aromatic amines and other NAT2 substrates. Polymorphisms in NAT1 are generally associated with relatively minor effects on acetylation function, with Monte Carlo analysis indicating less interindividual variability than seen in NAT2 analysis.

Abstract
Polymorphism of Biotransformation Genes and Risk of Relapse in Childhood Acute LeukemiaLeukemia is a hematological malignancy that involves bone marrow. Polymorphism of biotransformation genes plays an important role in primary childhood leukemia and affects the incidence and character of acute leukemia relapse. A biochip designed to assess some polymorphisms of biotransformation genes was used to determine the frequency of the polymorphic variants ofCYP1A1, CYP2D6, GSTT1, GSTM1, MTHFR, MTRR, NQO1, CYP2C9, CYP2C19andNAT2in 332 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 71 children with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). TheCYP1A1 *1/*2A, GSTT1non null andGSTM1non null genotypes were more frequent in patients with primary leukemia than in relapse. Analysis of theNAT2genotype frequency revealed a characteristic genotype for each type of leukemia, which prevailed in patients with relapse: the genotype341C/-, 481T/-, 590G/G, 857G/Gprevailed in ALL patients with relapse, and the genotype341T/T, 481C/C, 590A/- in AML patients with relapse when compared with patients having primary ALL or AML, respectively. Thus, the polymorphisms ofCYP1A1, GSTT1, GSTM1andNAT2genes can be considered as markers for risk of relapse in childhood acute leukemia and can be used for the prognosis and individualization of standard therapy.

Abstract
Tobacco smoke contains an extensive cocktail of highly carcinogenic chemicals. Individuals with a slower elimination rate of the chemicals in tobacco smoke may have increased exposure to their carcinogenic properties compared with those with a faster rate. Polymorphisms that alter the function of the genes involved in the activation or the detoxification of the chemical carcinogens in tobacco smoke can potentially influence an individual's risk of developing a tobacco-related cancer. To test this hypothesis, we have genotyped polymorphisms in 16 genes involved in metabolism of chemical carcinogens in a Central and Eastern European case-control study comprising 2,250 lung cases, 811 upper aerodigestive cancer (UADT) cases, and 2,704 controls. The N-acetyltransferase (NAT) genes were the most implicated in risk, with the NAT1*10 haplotype showing an inverse association in lung cancer, in both heterozygote carriers [odds ratio (OR), 0.81; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.70-0.93] and homozygote carriers (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.48-1.01), suggesting a genotype dose response (P < 0.001). In UADT cancer, a similar inverse association was noted in NAT1*10 although only in heterozygotes (OR, 0.78; 95%CI, 0.65-0.95). In NAT2, when considering the individuals inferred acetylator phenotypes based on their NAT2 diplotype, "slow" acetylators compared with intermediate or fast acetylators showed no association with risk. None of the other 14 genes provided robust evidence of an association for either lung or UADT cancer. We therefore conclude that, of the genetic variation studied, NAT1 gene was the most likely candidate to influence the risk of developing a tobacco-related cancer.

Abstract
Many studies have investigated lung cancer susceptibility based on the presence of low-penetrance, high-frequency single nucleotide polymorphisms. Identifying such susceptibility polymorphisms may lead to the development of tests that allow a more focused follow-up of a high-risk group. Genetic polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolism, DNA repair, cell-cycle control, immunity, addiction and nutritional status have been described as promising candidates. Genetic polymorphisms in both metabolic activation (Phase I) and detoxification (Phase II) enzymes influence DNA damage. The DNA repair system is a critical cellular response that counteracts the carcinogenic effects of DNA. Thus, genetically determined susceptibility to carcinogens depends on the balance between metabolic and DNA repair enzymes. This review evaluates whether or not a specific polymorphism or a combination of such polymorphisms can effectively predict high-risk groups.

Abstract
Approximately, a third of all colorectal cancer (CRC) is due to inherited susceptibility. However, high-risk mutations in APC, the mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MUTYH/MYH, SMAD4, ALK3 and STK11/LKB1 are rare and account for <5% of cases. Much of the remaining variation in genetic risk is likely to be explained by combinations of more common gene variants that modestly increase risk. Reliable identification of such 'low penetrance' alleles would provide insight into the aetiology of CRC and might highlight potential therapeutic and preventative interventions. In 2003, the National Study of Colorectal Cancer Genetics (NSCCG) was established with the aim of collecting DNA and clinicopathological data from 20,000 CRC cases and a series of spouse/partner controls, thereby creating a unique resource for identifying low-penetrance CRC susceptibility alleles. The National Cancer Research Network (NCRN) adopted NSCCG onto its portfolio of trials and 148 centres in the United Kingdom (UK) are now actively participating. Over 8,700 cases and 2,185 controls have so far been entered into NSCCG. Our experience in developing NSCCG serves to illustrate how world-class DNA databases for genetic analyses can be rapidly developed in the United Kingdom.

Abstract
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs), known as drug- and carcinogen-metabolising enzymes, have had historic roles in cellular metabolism, carcinogenesis and pharmacogenetics, including epidemiological studies of disease susceptibility. NAT research in the past 5 years builds on that history and additionally paves the way for establishing the following new concepts in biology and opportunities in drug discovery: i) NAT polymorphisms can be used as tools in molecular anthropology to study human evolution; ii) tracing NAT protein synthesis and degradation within cells is providing insight into protein folding in cell biology; iii) studies on control of NAT gene expression may help to understand the increase in the human NAT isoenzyme, NAT1, in breast cancer; iv) a NAT homologue in mycobacteria plays an essential role in cell-wall synthesis and mycobacterial survival inside host macrophage, thus identifying a novel biochemical pathway; v) transgenic mice, with genetic modifications of all Nat genes, provide in vivo tools for drug metabolism; and vi) structures of NAT isoenzymes provide essential in silico tools for drug discovery.
