Liver alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), the principal enzymes responsible for the oxidation of ethanol, are polymorphic at theADH2, ADH3 andALDH2 loci in human beings. Our previous studies have shown that, compared with nonalcoholic individuals, Chinese alcoholic patient

## Abstract A polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing of the ADH7 gene were carried out in 50 controls and 50 patients with probable multiple system atrophy (MSA). Seven SNPs, one insertion, and one mismatch were found in patients with MSA and controls. There was no significant difference i
## Abstract We studied two genetic polymorphisms (240C/T and 480G/A) of the brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene in Japanese patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD, n = 172), Parkinson's disease (PD, n = 327), and multiple system atrophy (MSA, n = 122), as well as controls (n = 275). The di
