Association between alcohol dehydrogenase-2 gene polymorphism and esophageal cancer risk: a meta-analysis

Abstract: BackgroundIt has been shown that gene polymorphisms may play an important role in the carcinogenesis of esophageal cancer. This study is to investigate the role of alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) gene Arg47His polymorphism in esophageal cancer susceptibility.MethodsCase-control studies published between January 2000 and June 2015 were searched to retrieve relevant articles. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were employed to calculate the strength of association.ResultsA total of 23 … Show more

“…In people with ADH1B His/His, the activity of ADH1B is enhanced, followed by rapid accumulation of acetaldehyde 25 . In epidemiological studies, ADH1B polymorphism has been associated with tumors of the upper digestive organs 4 including esophageal cancer 26 . In terms of breast cancer, ADH1B itself did not present any association in most previous studies 19,27,28 .…”

“…Evidence regarding the effect of rs1229984 on specific cancer risk has been contradictory. SNP presence may confer increased risk, decreased risk or no association cancer risk (31), whilst others argue the variant confers increased risk (32)(33)(34). As mentioned prior, the mechanism of how this variant may affect cancer risk is poorly understood but may be due to altered enzymatic function of ADH1B in individuals with rs1229984 (6).…”

“…However, the findings are as yet inconclusive. Several meta-analyses published before 2016 associated this polymorphism only with esophageal, head and neck, gastric, colorectal, and upper aerodigestive tract cancer [11–16]. However, no meta-analyses have ever investigated the association between ADH1B Arg47His polymorphism and overall cancer risk, including other types of cancer.…”
