Furthermore, Furthermore, we observed significant associations between ADH1 genetic polymorphisms and an increased risk of gastric cancer (allele model: OR  = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.08∼1.36, P = 0.001; dominant model: OR  = 10.52, 95%CI: 3.04∼36.41, P<0.001; respectively), especially for rs1230025 polymorphism. The gene discussed is ADH1A; the disease is gastric cancer.
