  1. Samples with unknown acetylator status are not shown.
  2. Ref = reference allele.
  3. aOR was adjusted for age, gender, smoking and alcohol consumption status; OR was not calculated for subgroups with low sample size.
  4. bSmokers = current and former smokers.
  5. cDrinkers = light to heavy alcohol drinkers.
  6. dCase-only analysis has been performed for red meat intake due to lack of data from control individuals.
