Abstract excerpt
Alcohol consumption has consistently been shown to increase breast cancer (BC) risk. This association may be modified by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzymes ADH1B and ADH1C. The Netherlands Cohort Study comprises 62 573 women, aged 55-69 years at baseline (1986). Follow-up for postmenopausal BC for 20.3 years was available. Genotyping of six tag SNPs in ADH1B and ADH1C...
