Abstract

The acetylator phenotype was determined in 100 patients with breast cancer and 100 control female subjects using isoniazid. The proportion of fast acetylators in the breast cancer patients (43%) was not significantly different from the control group (43%). We conclude that acetylator phenotype is unlikely to be an important determinant of the risk of developing breast cancer.
