Study: Hair Dye Use, Detoxification Metabolism and Risk of Lymphoma
Title: Genetic Variations in Xenobiotic Metabolic Pathway Genes, Personal Hair Dye Use, and Risk of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Summary: Preliminary study shows elevated risks occured for Non-Hodgkins for use of hair dye before 1980 with certain genotype while other genotypes showed no risk.
