GENOTYPING STUDY OF ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE CLASS I POLYMORPHISM IN FRENCH PATIENTS WITH ALCOHOLIC CIRRHOSIS

Abstract
Comparison of alcohol dehydrogenase polymorphism at the loci ADH 2 and ADH 3 is made in France between 46 alcoholic cirrhotic patients and 39 controls, by genotyping technique using polymerase chain reaction on blood microsample collected on blotting paper. The genotype distributions are similar, with low frequency of the ADH 22 allele. Polymorphism at the ADH 3 locus is not a genetic factor for alcoholic cirrhosis in France.
