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).
