Variations in alcohol-metabolizing enzymes in people of East Indian and African descent from Trinidad and Tobago.

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

Abstract excerpt

The population of Trinidad and Tobago is composed mainly of people of East Indian (Indo-Trinidadians) and African (Afro-Trinidadians) ancestry. Differences in alcoholism rates exist between these two ethnic groups, and researchers have investigated whether these differences can be explained in part by variations in the genes encoding the alcohol-metabolizing enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) 1B and 1C, and...
