Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To study the genetic susceptibility to alcoholic liver disease, we investigated the association between genetic polymorphism in the cytochrome P450 2E1 gene and the occurrence of alcoholic liver disease. METHODS: Four previously described restriction fragment length polymorphisms...
