Abstract excerpt
Although alcohol intake as well as hepatitis viruses has been associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gene-alcohol interactions on HCC risk remain to be elucidated. We conducted a case-control study to examine whether polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) modified the HCC risk depending on the amount of alcohol intake. ADH2 and ALDH2 genotyping was performed...
