title: Polymorphism of alcohol dehydrogenase genes in alcoholic and nonalcoholic individuals from Valencia (Spain).
abstract: Polymorphisms in the two variable ADH loci (ADH2 and ADH3) were analyzed in two groups (alcoholics and nonalcoholics) from a Spanish population. The frequencies were similar to those reported for other Causcasian groups. ADH2-1 and ADH3-1 genotypes were more frequent in alcoholics than in nonalcoholics, but the differences were not significant.
