Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating the association between cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) polymorphisms and the risk of alcoholic liver diseases (ALD) have yielded conflicting results. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to clarify the association between CYP2E1 polymorphisms and the risks of ALD. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify the relevant studies. The fixed or random...
