For cytochrome P450 enzymes 1 (CYP1) family, the expression of CYP1A2 was decreased 90% in HCC, 80% in alcoholic cirrhosis, and 65% in severe cirrhosis.
Polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferases GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 and cytochromes P450 CYP2E1 and CYP1A1 and susceptibility to cirrhosis or pancreatitis in alcoholics.
Rsal and Dral polymorphisms of CYP2E1 and Mspl polymorphism of CYP1A1 were studied in 260 controls and 511 alcoholic patients, without any clinical symptoms (n = 202) or with various ethanol-related diseases (n = 309), such as liver cirrhosis (n = 110), esophageal cancer (n = 62), upper aerodigestive tract cancer (n = 96), and other miscellaneous diseases (n = 41).
