Genetic polymorphisms of microsomal epoxide hydroxylase and glutathione S-transferases M1, T1 and P1, interactions with smoking, and risk for esophageal (Barrett) adenocarcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The aim of this case-control study was to test the hypothesis that polymorphisms of the microsomal epoxide hydroxylase (mEH) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes modulate the susceptibility to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EADC) associated with smoking. METHODS: Cases included patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (n=126), Barrett esophagus (BE) (n=125), and EADC (n=56); controls...
