ALDH2*2 but not ADH1B*2 is a causative variant gene allele for Asian alcohol flushing after a low-dose challenge: correlation of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic findings.

摘要

Findings indicate that ALDH2*2, rather than ADH1B2*2, is a causal variant allele for the accumulation of blood acetaldehyde and the resultant facial flushing during low alcohol consumption.
