Abstract excerpt
Alcohol drinking is a major risk factor for esophageal cancer in Japan and its impact may be modulated by levels of ALDH2, ADH2 and CYP2E1, three representative alcohol-metabolizing enzymes which display genetic polymorphisms altering individual alcohol-oxidizing capacity and drinking behavior. To assess the actual influence of ADH2 Arg47His, ALDH2 Glu487Lys and CYP2E1 variant c2 allele polymorphisms on...
