Association of alcohol dehydrogenase 2*1 allele with liver damage and insulin concentration in the Japanese.

Journal of human genetics - 1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

The Japanese have a polymorphism in the alcohol dehydrogenase 2 gene (ADH2). The alleles of ADH2 (ADH2*1 and ADH2*2) encode more active and less active forms for ethanol metabolism, respectively. We examined whether liver damage and the insulin-glucose axis vary according to ADH2 genotype in the Japanese. The 2,232 subjects (1,126 men and 1,106 women) were recruited from a population-based prospective cohort...
