Abstract
In a population-based study of 613 cases and 1082 controls, alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) genotype was not an independent risk factor for breast cancer, although the possibility was raised that it modifies risk associated with high levels of alcohol consumption (OR 1.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.8-1.6 for ADH1B*1/*1 genotype vs 0.2, 95% CI 0.1-1.0 for ADH1B*2 carriers).
