AIM: To evaluate the impact of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) polymorphisms on esophageal cancer risk. METHODS: One hundred and ninety-one esophageal cancer patients and 198 healthy controls from Yanting County were enrolled in this study. ADH2 and ALDH2 genotypes were examined by polymerase-chain-reaction with the confronting-two-pair-primer (PCR-CTPP) method. Unconditional logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS: Both ADH2 1 allele and ALDH2 1/ 2 allele showed an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer. The adjusted OR (95% CI) for ADH2 1 allele compared with ADH2 2/ 2 was 1.65 (95% CI = 1.02-2.68) and 1.67 (95% CI = 1.02-2.72) for ALDH2 1/ 2 compared with ALDH2 1/ 1. A significant interaction between ALDH2 and drinking was detected regarding esophageal cancer risk, the OR was 1.83 (95% CI = 1.13-2.95). Furthermore, when compared with ADH2 2/ 2 and ALDH2 1/ 1 carriers, ADH2 1 and ALDH2 2 carriers showed an elevated risk of developing esophageal cancer among non-alcohol drinkers (OR = 2.46, 95% CI = 0.98-6.14), and a significantly elevated risk of developing esophageal cancer among alcohol drinkers among alcohol drinkers (OR = 9.86, 95% CI = 3.10-31.38). CONCLUSION: ADH2 and ALDH2 genotypes are associated with esophageal cancer risk. ADH2 1 allele and ALDH2 2 allele carriers have a much higher risk of developing esophageal cancer, especially among alcohol drinkers.
