Abstract excerpt
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), as one of the most important alcohol metabolizing enzymes, plays a significant role in the detoxification process of acetaldehyde which is a main carcinogenic product of alcoholic metabolism. Alteration in its genotypes (particularly at the site of rs671) is closely associated with a variety of tumors in drinkers. Recent advance in the research of the association of the ALDH2...
