The role of phase I, phase II, and DNA-repair gene polymorphisms in the damage induced by formaldehyde in pathologists

Abstract Formaldehyde (FA) is a human carcinogen used as formalin in hospital laboratories. We evaluated its association with human chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and the risk/protective role played by several genetic polymorphisms in this relationship, on a cohort of 57 exposed pathologists vs 48 co...
