[Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) polymorphism and drinking behavior].

Yi chuan = Hereditas - 1 Mar 2004

Luo Huai-Rong, Zhang Ya-Ping

Abstract excerpt

An atypical allele (ALDH2*2) in low K(m) aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), which is highly prevalent in Asians, may influence drinking behavior because of higher production of acetaldehyde in the liver. High alcohol sensitivity such as flushing after drinking has been shown to be mainly due to the atypical ALDH2 genotypes. The atypical allele is associated with alcohol-induced liver injury and some cancers....
