High incidence of ADH21/ALDH21 genes among Japanese alcohol dependents and patients with alcoholic liver disease

1996-02-01

Abstract excerpt

In an attempt to clarify the genetic factors in alcoholism among the Japanese, polymorphism of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) genes has been investigated. Genetic polymorphism of ADH2/ALDH2 in 66 cases of normal subjects, 90 cases of alcohol dependent, and 31 patients with alcoholic liver disease among Japanese has been analyzed using a polymerase chain reaction assay followed by a d...
