Abstract:

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)are key enzymes of alcohol metabolism in human liver,which constitute ethanol dehydrogenase oxidation system. ADH1B and ALDH2 are 2 important subtypes of ADH and ALDH,respectively. ADH1B and ALDH2 gene polymorphisms are associated with a variety of diseases,such as digestive system diseases,neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic diseases. In this review,the gene polymorphisms of ADH1B and ALDH2 and their related diseases are reviewed to provide new ideas for the prevention and diagnosis of diseases.

Key words: Alcohol dehydrogenase 1B, Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, Gene polymorphism, Disease
