✦ Synopsis

Human liver alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme patterns were studied using prolonged high voltage starch-gel electrophoresis and gel-slab isoelectric focusing. Homo- and heterodimers of ADH2 locus were easily distinguished from each other. The gene frequencies of ADH2 2 and ADH2 3 in 46 random liver samples from Germany were found to be 0.044 and 0.424 respectively.
