Abstract

This study was done to examine the benzene induced chromosomal aberrations and also the influence of genetic polymorphism(GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, NAT2, NQO1, CYP2E1 and CYP1A1) on the chromosomal aberrations. In total, 82 benezene exposed workers and 76 matched controls were examined.(omitted)
