The Cytochrome P450 Family 1 Subfamily A Member 1) CYP1A1 (enzyme is known to cause coronary artery disease through various mechanisms. Therefore, it is important to investigate the polymorphisms that affect the activity of this enzyme. After collecting samples from 191 patients with angiographically verified CAD and 191 healthy individuals, genotyping for <i>CYP1A1</i> rs4646903 polymorphism was carried out. Lipid profile was assessed by conventional colorimetric method. The results showed that the frequency of heterozygous and homozygous mutant genotypes of rs4646903 polymorphism was 36.6% and 5.2% in patients and 20.9% and 2.1% in controls, respectively. The heterozygous genotype (OR=2.24; 95% CI=1.30-3.84, P=0.003), homozygous mutant genotype (OR=3.97; 95% CI=1.05-14.98, P=0.042) and mutant C allele (OR=2.15; 95% CI=1.46-3.15, P<0.001) was significantly associated with CAD risk. Further analysis identified <i>CYP1A1</i> rs4646903 polymorphism as a significant risk factor for early onset (P= 0.005) but not late onset (P=0.066) CAD. However, the frequency of heterozygous and homozygous mutant genotype of rs4646903 polymorphism did not differ significantly among the CAD patients with various number of stenotic vessel (P>0.05).

In line with the above facts, the present study aims to analyse the genetic alterations, associated gene expression patterns and survival probability of HNSCC patients upon differential expression of the crucial members of the MMP family.
