Human alcohol dehydrogenase ADH2 and ADH3 were investigated in liver and stomach specimens of Chinese and Indians from West Malaysia. Eight-nine percent of the Chinese carry the atypical ADH2 type, a proportion very similar to that reported in Japanese. However, among 43 Indian specimens there was n
Sjรถgren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) is an inherited neurocutaneous disease caused by mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene that codes for fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH), an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism. We performed mutation analysis in probands or fetuses from 13 unrelated SLS families and identifi
To clarify the pathogenetic role of acetaldehyde in the development of alcoholic liver disease, genotyping of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 genes was performed and the clinical features of the alcoholic liver disease patients with different genotypes were compared. Genotyping of aldehyde dehydrogenase-2
