Susceptibility
  • to benzene toxicity
  • modifying the susceptibility to acute myeloid leukemia
  • to various forms of cancer
  • to breast cancer with poor survival
  • to artery plaques in type 2 diabetic patients
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • Cb09T TT phenotype with no NQO1 activity (susceptible)
  • allele 2 and 3 increases the risk of ALL
  • an increased risk of hematotoxicity after exposure to benzene
  • homozygote missense variant increasing the risk of breast cancer with poor survival
  • C609T polymorphism is associated with carotid artery plaques in type 2 diabetic patients (Han 2009)
  • Candidate gene prognostic and predictive marker for breast cancer
