Flushing
0.100 GeneticVariation phenotype BEFREE ALDH2*2 but not ADH1B*2 is a causative variant gene allele for Asian alcohol flushing after a low-dose challenge: correlation of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic findings. 25365528 2014
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 GeneticVariation phenotype BEFREE A few well-validated, specific predictors such as OPRM1, ADH1B, ALDH2, CHRNA5, and CYP26 have been identified and can provide some specific guidance, for example, to understand alcohol-related flushing and upper GI cancer risk (ADH1B and AKLDH2), variation in nicotine metabolism (CYP26), and, potentially, naltrexone treatment response (OPRM1). 22640768 2012
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 GeneticVariation phenotype BEFREE These results bridge the gap between DNA sequence variation and alcohol-related behavior, confirming that the ADH1B-Arg48His polymorphism affects both alcohol-related flushing in Europeans and alcohol intake. 18996923 2009
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE Asian case-control studies have shown a strong relationship between the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the esophagus and alcohol consumption combined with inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2*1/*2), less-active alcohol dehydrogenase-1B (ADH1B*1/*1), high mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and self-reported facial flushing in response to alcohol. 17119048 2006
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 GeneticVariation phenotype BEFREE Mr. Cook's and Dr. Wall's paper adds another dimension to this article by presenting research on both the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH2) genetic variants and their association with the alcohol-related flushing response that is prevalent in Asian populations. 15112932 2004
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE Specifically, ADH1B*47His (previously ADH2-2) and ALDH2-2 have been shown to confer protection against alcoholism, presumably through accumulation of acetaldehyde in the blood and a resultant 'flushing response' to alcohol consumption. 12884000 2003
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE To clarify the characteristics of men who had genetically inactive ALDH2 but did not report alcohol flushing, we analyzed individuals possessing the ALDH2*1/2*2 genotype and found that those who also had ADH2*1/2*1 (both cases and controls) tended not to report current flushing, and those who did not report current flushing (controls only) tended to be heavier drinkers. 14652286 2003
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE Japanese alcoholic men with (n = 65) and without (n = 206) esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, excluding those with liver cirrhosis, were assessed for MCV within 7 days of their last drink, alone or in combination with findings from either the alcohol flushing questionnaire or genotyping to identify inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2*1/2*2) and the less-active form of alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (ADH2*1/2*1), which pose risks for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. 12949054 2003
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE In those with the ALDH2*1/*2 genotype, the positive rate of facial flushing with one glass of beer was higher in those with ADH2*1/*2 and ADH2*2/*2 than those with ADH2*1/*1, although this was not significant. 11584144 2001
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing

CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 GeneticVariation phenotype BEFREE Recently, the contributions of alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (ADH2) polymorphism to alcoholism, esophageal cancer, and the flushing response have also been described. 10591585 1999
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE The results indicate that self-reported flushing is determined by both ALDH2 and ADH2 and that prediction of ALDH2 genotype on the basis of self-reported flushing and nausea can help identify subjects at increased risk for alcoholism. 9726271 1998
CUI: C0016382
Disease: Flushing
Flushing
0.100 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE In the ALDH2(1)/ALDH2(2) group, the frequency of facial flushing with one glass of beer was significantly higher in the ADH2(1)/ADH2(2) and ADH2(2)/ADH2(2) genotype than in the ADH2(1)/ADH2(1) genotype. 8834233 1996

Flushing
0.100 GeneticVariation phenotype BEFREE In those homozygous for ALDH2*1, the presence of two ADH2*2 alleles correlated with slightly faster alcohol metabolism and more intense flushing, although a great deal of variability in the latter was noted. 8512527 1993
