title: Association of habitual smoking and drinking with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in 40 candidate genes: data from random population-based Japanese samples.
abstract: Basic information on the association between lifestyle factors and candidate genes is valuable for genetic-environmental study. We screened the association of habitual smoking or drinking with polymorphism in 40 candidate genes for a total of 153 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using a sample of 339 middle-aged, randomly selected Japanese men. Smoking and drinking statuses were elicited during questionnaire-based interviews. Genes were selected based on their possible involvement in genetic-environmental, life-style interactions and constitute the genes expressing xenobiotic metabolism enzymes, DNA repair enzymes, and other stress-related proteins. The P values of odds ratios to habitual smoking for CYP17A1, ESR1, EPHX1, GSTT2, ALDH2, NOS2A, OGG1, and SLC6A4 and those of odds ratios to habitual drinking for CYP1B1, ESR1, HSD17B3, GSTM3, COMT, ADH1C, ALDH2, NOS3, and NUDT1 were under 0.05. These variables were included in a stepwise logistic analysis in order to develop a predictive model for smoking or drinking behavior. In the final model, the only significant variables selected for smoking were OGG1, SLC6A4, EPHX1, ESR1, and CYP17A1, and for drinking, ALDH2 and NUDT1. The findings of the present study suggest that polymorphism in associated candidate genes plays a role in the habitual use of tobacco and alcohol among Japanese men.
