Abstract: | In 45 healthy Japanese volunteers, it was found that personsheterozygous for ALDH2 (ALDH2*1/ALDH2*2), and also either heterozygousor mutant homozygous for CYP2E1 (C2/C2 or C1/C2 can drink muchmore alcohol, even with (slight) flushing, than persons heterozygousfor ALDH2 (ALDH2*1/ALDH2*2) and normal homozygous for CYP2E1(C1/C1) |
