Core Tip	A meta-analysis was performed to determine if the p.Tyr113His and p.His139Arg polymorphisms in microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) are associated with an increased risk for esophageal cancer (EC). A total of seven studies of the association between EC risk and the EPHX1 polymorphisms (p.Tyr113His in seven and p.His139Arg in six) were included in the analysis. No significant association was found in any of the genetic models for the p.Tyr113His polymorphism in EPHX1 and EC. Similar results were obtained from the p.His139Arg polymorphism analysis. Subgroup analyses for ethnicity, subtype of EC, and source of controls also showed no significant association of EPHX1 polymorphisms with EC risk.
