Investigator-observed alcohol-induced flushing but not self-report of flushing is a valid predictor of ALDH2 genotype.
TL Wall, HR Thomasson, CL Ehlers - Journal of studies on alcohol, 1996 - jsad.com
Objective: This article presents data on the validity of using self-report of alcohol-induced
flushing and actual investigator-observed flushing following alcohol challenge to predict
ALDH2 genotype in Asian-American men. Method: Men between the ages of 21 and 25
years who were of Chinese, Japanese or Korean descent completed questionnaires about
their drinking history and their alcohol-induced flushing history and associated symptoms.
Fifty men selected for participation in the study were genotyped for alleles of ALDH2 and …
