AIM:To demonstrate the possible associations between genetic polymorphisms of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2(ALDH2) and esophageal squamous cell dysplasia(ESCD).METHODS:All participants came from an area of high incidence of esophageal cancer and underwent an endoscopic staining examination;biopsies were taken from a non-staining area of the mucosa and diagnosed by histopathology.Based on the examinations,the subjects were divided into the control group with normal esophageal squamous epithelial cells and the ESCD group.ALDH2 genotypes of 396 cases were determined including 184 ESCD cases and 212 controls.The odds ratio(OR) and 95% confidence intervals(95% CI) were calculated by binary logistic regression models.RESULTS:The distribution of ALDH2 genotypes showed significant differences between the two groups.The adjustment factors were gender and age in the logistic regression models.Compared with 2*2/2*2 genotype,2*1/2*1 genotype was found to be a risk factor for ESCD,and the OR(95% CI) was 4.50(2.21-9.19).There were significant correlations between ALDH2 genotypes and alcohol drinking/smoking/history of esophageal cancer.CONCLUSION:The ALDH2 polymorphism is significantly associated with ESCD.
AIM: To demonstrate the possible associations between genetic polymorphisms of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) and esophageal squamous cell dysplasia (ESCD). METHODS: All participants came from an area of high incidence of esophageal cancer and underwent an endoscopic staining examination; biopsies were taken from a non-staining area of the mucosa and diagnosed by histopathology.Based on the examinations, the subjects were divided into the control group with normal esophageal squamous epithelial cells and the ESCD group. ALD2 genotypes of 396 cases were determined including 184 ESCD cases and 212 controls. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated by binary logistic regression models .RESULTS: The distribution of ALDH2 genotypes showed significant differences between the two groups. The adjustment factors were gender and age in the logistic regression models. Compared with 2 * 2/2 * 2 genotype, 2 * 1/2 * 1 genotype was found to be a risk factor for ESCD, and the OR (95% CI) was 4.50 (2.21-9.19) .here were significant correlations between ALDH2 genotypes and alcohol drinking / smoking / history of esophageal cancer. CONCLUSION: The ALDH2 polymorphism is significantly associated with ESCD.
