The N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) enzyme detoxifies aromatic amines, an important class of carcinogens in tobacco smoke. Slow acetylation phenotype individuals have reduced detoxification capacity compared with those with a rapid/intermediate phenotype. Analysis of the Spanish Bladder Cancer Study found an odds ratio (OR) for slow acetylators relative to rapid/intermediate acetylators of 0.9 in never-smokers and 1.6 in ever-smokers, a 1.8-fold enhancement in smokers. Evidence indicates that acetylation is an exposure-dependent process, and thus the magnitude of the interaction may also depend on exposure level.
