The first step is controlled by the ADH1B enzyme and the second by ALDH2 enzyme.</p> <p>The ADH1B (rs1229984) SNP changes the enzyme structure and increases its ability to convert alcohol to acetaldehyde. This leads to the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the blood.</p> <p>The ALDH2 (rs671) SNP produces an inactive enzyme with a reduced ability to clear acetaldehyde from the body. Individuals with the ALDH2 variant SNP have a reduced risk of alcoholism and will develop hangover symptoms from a smaller amount of alcohol. In some genotypes, the risk of adverse health outcomes such as oesophageal cancer increases with alcohol consumption.</p> <div class="title">Evidence Rating for Risk</div> <div class="stars big"><div></div><div></div><div></div></div> <div class="title">Predicted Outcome</div> <p>{{vm.outcome}} sensitivity to alcohol</p> <div class="title">Genotype</div> <p> ADH1B {{vm.details.Genes.ADH1B | alleles : '/' }}<br> ALDH2 {{vm.details.Genes.ALDH2 | alleles : '/' }} </p> <div class="title">Phenotype</div> <p ng-bind="vm.phenotype"></p> <div class="title">Interpretation</div> <div ng-bind-html="vm.interpretations"></div> <div class="title">Recommendations</div> <div ng-bind-html="vm.recommendations"></div> <div class="title">Notes</div> <ul> <li>Light drinkers are people who consume 1 or less standard drinks per day while heavy drinkers are people who consume 5 or more standard drinks per day (400g of alcohol per week).<br> 1 standard drink contains 10 g of alcohol</li> <li>The risk for cancers will vary depending on the ethnic group.<br> In the East Asian population cancer of the oesophagus is very common and there are several studies describing the risk of this cancer in each of the test result groups. In the Caucasian population, cancer of the oesophagus is rare and the studies only provide risks for head and neck or upper gastrointestinal cancer. <br/> The ALDH2 genetic change does not appear to occur in the Caucasian population but does occur in various Asian populations. The highest frequency of the ALDH2 genetic change is in the Han Chinese population. </li> <li>All risk figures are derived from a comparison with the genetic finding that has the least cancer risk, not a comparison to a non-drinking group. This means the absolute risk may be significantly greater than quoted above. For example, risks for oesophageal cancer as high as 30-70 times have been reported in alcohol drinkers when compared with non-drinkers <sup>1</sup>.</li> </ul> <div class="title">References</div> <div class="small"> <p>1.
