However, in subsequent analyses, high predicted mEH activity was significantly associated with adenoma among certain subgroups defined by smoking history [odds ratio (OR), 4.27; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.68-10.81 among current smokers; interaction, P = 0.11], meat consumption (OR, 2.47; CI, 0.99-6.19 among individuals who regularly eat well-done meat; interaction, P = 0.03), and genotypes for the *A/*B polymorphism in the gene encoding glutatione S-transferase M3 (OR, 2.60; CI, 1.28-5.28 among individuals with *A*A genotype; interaction, P = 0.03).
Among participants randomized to the screening arm of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial, we evaluated risks for advanced adenoma in relation to cigarette use and these two EPHX1 variants.
