ALDH2, ADH1B, and ADH1C genotypes in Asians: a literature review.

Alcohol research & health : the journal of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism - 1 Jan 2007

Eng Mimy Y, Luczak Susan E, Wall Tamara L

Abstract excerpt

Variants of three genes encoding alcohol-metabolizing enzymes, the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene ALDH2 and the alcohol dehydrogenase genes ADH1B and ADH1C, have been associated with reduced rates of alcohol dependence. The genotype prevalence of these genes varies in general samples of different Asian ethnic groups. The ALDH2*2 allele appears to be most prevalent in Chinese-American, Han Chinese and Taiwanese,...
