, “CYP2E1 RsaI and 96-bp insertion genetic polymorphisms associated with risk for colorectal cancer”, vol. 11, pp. 3138-3145, 2012.
We investigated a possible association between alcoholism, cigarette smoking, obesity and CYP2E1 RsaI and 96-bp insertion genetic polymorphisms with risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients with CRC (70 women and 61 men) were matched for gender and age to 206 healthy controls. The mean age of the two groups was 62 years. Meat intake, cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking were assessed using a specific frequency questionnaire. The body mass index was also calculated.
