Abstract excerpt
Human alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) play important roles in metabolizing alcohol, and several lines of evidence suggest that variations in ADH genes affect the risk for alcoholism. Differences in regulatory sequences could affect the expression of ADH genes and thereby modify the risk for alcoholism. To explore this idea, we sequenced regulatory regions upstream of ADH1C and identified 13 polymorphisms, including...
