## Abstract To evaluate contribution of polymorphisms of the __XRCC1__ gene to the risk of colorectal cancer, we conducted a case‐control study of 209 colorectal cancer cases and 209 age‐ and gender‐matched controls in the Korean population. We tested the hypothesis by constructing allele combinati
## Abstract Chronic alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk for upper aerodigestive tract cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Increased acetaldehyde production __via__ alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) has been implicated in the pathogenesis. The allele ADH1C\*1 of ADH1C encodes for an
## Abstract In our previous study, we found that polymorphisms of alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase (__ADH1B__ and __ALDH2__) are important risks for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a Taiwanese population. In this study, we increased the sample size to investigate the modifying effect of lif
Two types of factors can theoretically modulate alcohol metabolism toward increased acetaldehyde production. These factors are the following: (a) individual, genetically determined isoenzymes with distinct catalytic properties, and (b) modifications of enzyme activity induced by alcohol itself or li
