Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recent studies of the genetics of alcoholism have considered genetic factors in alcohol metabolism and have identified functional polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes involved in ethanol metabolism. The aim of this study was to estimate the genotype and allele frequencies of polymorphisms of three major ethanol-metabolizing enzymes (ADH2, ALDH2 and CYP2E1) in Koreans and to compare...
