Abstract excerpt
As the susceptibility of humans to xenobiotics often depends on genetic factors, we assumed that ADH1B and ALDH2 genetic variants may affect susceptibility to the acute methanol exposure. To evaluate the role of genetic variants of enzymes involved in methanol catabolism in humans, we analysed ADH1B (rs1229984) and ALDH2 (rs441) polymorphisms in 50 adults who survived acute methanol poisoning, 246 individuals...
