Abstract

Homozygous carriers of a haplotype consisting of ERCC1 Asn118Asn(A), ASE-1 G-21A(G), RAI IVS1 A4364G(A) are at increased risk of lung cancer especially among women. Here, we analyse for gene-environment interactions with the predefined haplotype in a case cohort study including 428 lung cancer cases and a comparison group of 800 persons, all from the prospective Diet, Cancer and Health cohort of 57,000 Danes. At high smoking intensity (> 20 g tobacco/day), there was only additional risk of smoking intensity among women who were homozygous carriers of the haplotype (IRR=2.03; 95% CI: 1.10-3.73 per 5 additional g tobacco/day).
