COMMENT Reprint kindly provided by A.Yoshida 10-SEP-1985. 50% of Orientals
have only the ALDH1 isozyme, which in some cases produces an
enzymatically inactive ALDH1 enzyme, and are missing the ALDH2
isozyme (commonly designated 'atypical'). A very high incidence of
acute alcohol intoxication in Orientals, as compared to Caucasians,
can be directly attributed to genetic differences in the ALDH
isozymes. A poly-A signal is located at positions 1542-1547.
