DTR analysis showed that ADH5 genotypes and diplotypes of ADH1A, ADH1B, ADH7, and ALDH2 were associated with AD in European Americans and/or African Americans.

ADH(2), ADH(3), and CYP(450)2E1 Pst-I and Dra-I genetic variations are not related to alcoholism or susceptibility to alcoholic liver disease in our male population.ALDH(2) locus is monomorphic.
The frequencies of the alleles ADH(2)2 and ADH(3)1, coding for the high-Vmax beta 2- and gamma 1-ADH respectively, and of the mutant ALDH(2)2 in the Oriental subjects with alcoholism or alcoholic cirrhosis are significantly lower than those in healthy controls.
