Allelic variation at alcohol metabolism genes (ADH1B, ADH1C, ALDH2) and alcohol dependence in an American Indian population
(Springer: Human Genetics, 2003-09)Enzymes encoded by two gene families, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), mediate alcohol metabolism in humans. Allelic variants have been identified that alter metabolic rates and influence risk ... -
Molecular genetic analysis of tumors in von recklinghausen neurofibromatosis: Loss of heterozygosity for chromosome 17
(Wiley: Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, 1989-09)The most common inherited syndrome in man predisposing to neoplasia is neurofibromatosis-1 (von Recklinghausen disease) (NF1). We investigated the hypothesis that affected individuals carry a single inactive allele at the ... -
Proline-threonine substitution in codon 351 of ADH1C is common in Native Americans.
(Blackwell: Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, 2002-12)Background: The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes have been repeatedly associated with protection against alcoholism. Until now, only four protein coding variants have been identified (ADH1C Arg271Gln, Ile349Val, ADH1B ...
