BACKGROUND: A homozygous mutant (ALDH2⁎ 2/⁎ 2) of the gene for mitochondrial
aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) at codon 487 was reported to be associated with …

Several studies indicate the mitochondrial Aldehyde Dehydrogenase‐2 (ALDH 2) gene
G487A polymorphism may be correlated with coronary artery disease (CAD) susceptibility …

Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is the principal enzyme involved in
alcohol metabolism in humans. Emerging evidence has shown that the common rs671 G> A …

In epidemiological studies, moderate alcohol consumption has been consistently associated
with a reduced risk of myocardial infarction (MI). About half of Japanese show an extremely …

OBJECTIVES: We studied the association between mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase
(ALDH2) Glu504Lys (rs671 or ALDH2* 2) polymorphism and coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Background Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH 2) plays a key role in
removing toxic aldehydes. Deficient variant ALDH 2* 2 genotype is prevalent in up to 40% of …

Abstract In Japanese and other Asians, the prevalence of genetically decreased
mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) activity is higher than in Caucasians. The …

Moderate alcohol consumption appears to confer some protection against coronary heart
disease, which is related to changes in serum levels of lipoproteins, especially high-density …

Severity in Han Chinese. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2007, 213 (3), 215-220── Alcohol
consumption has an important effect on coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD) …

We studied the association between aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) polymorphism
