VIP Variant
in ADH1B
Note: The ADH1B gene is found on the minus chromosomal strand. Please note that for standardization, the PharmGKB presents all allele base pairs on the positive chromosomal strand, therefore the alleles within our variant annotations will differ (in a complementary manner) from those in this VIP summary that are given on the minus strand as reported in the literature.
ADH1B*3 (Arg369Cys in exon 9) has been found in some African American and Native American populations to be correlated with protection against alcoholism [Articles:
17718395,
17718396,
16571603]. It has a Vmax about 30 times higher than the *1 allele [Article:
16571603]. This allele is not typically found in the Asian or Caucasian populations.
