The most well-known metabolic pathways from ethanol to acetaldehyde include alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system that involves cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). Acetaldehyde is further oxidized to acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). The genetic variation of ADH1B, ALDH2, and CYP2E1 is different among racial populations and cause difference in elimination rates of alcohol. The aim of this study was to determine the polymorphisms of ADH1B (rs1229984; Arg47His), ALDH2 (rs671; Glu487Lys), CYP2E1*6 (rs6413432; T7632A), and CYP2E1*7B (rs6413420; G-71T) in unrelated healthy Turkish population and compare it with other populations. ADH1B and ALDH2 polymorphisms were analyzed with an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, and CYP2E1*6 and CYP2E1*7B polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. ADH1B polymorphism analysis yielded the genotype distribution as 83.9% ADH1B*1/1 and 16.1% ADH1B*1/2, and no individuals with ALDH2*1/2 and ALDH2*2/2 genotypes were found in Turkish population. The genotype frequencies for CYP2E1*6 polymorphism were found as 85.3% for homozygote common, 14.1% for heterozygote, and 0.6% for homozygote uncommon. For CYP2E1*7B polymorphism, the genotype frequencies were determined to be 86.5% G/G, 13.5% for G/T; however, no individuals with homozygote uncommon genotype were detected. According to our study results, the genotype distributions of ADH1B, ALDH2, CYP2E1*6, and CYP2E1*7B in Turkish population were similar compared with Caucasian and some European populations, whereas differed significantly from East Asian populations. This study may be useful in epidemiological studies of the influence of ADH1B, ALDH2, CYP2E1*6, and CYP2E1*7B polymorphisms on diseases, including several types of cancer related to alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence.

Cuproptosis is crucial in the development of various liver diseases, yet its involvement in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) remains poorly understood. In this study, we screened cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) regulating ALD and explored their potential molecular mechanisms. Bioinformatic methods were employed to screen CRGs in ALD, analyze their functional enrichment, signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, relationship with the immune microenvironment and pathogenic genes, and corresponding single nucleotide polymorphism pathogenic regions, and construct transcription factor-miRNA-mRNA networks.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between genetic variants in the ALDH2 and ADH1B genes and the risk of lung adenocarcinoma (LAD), a type of lung cancer, using data from 150 LAD patients and two control groups from Taiwan.
- - Results show that the ALDH2 rs671 *2/*2 variant significantly increases the risk of developing LAD, with females showing an even stronger association compared to males.
- - No significant relationship was found between the ADH1B rs1229984 variant and LAD risk, highlighting the specific impact of the ALDH2 gene in this population.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how genetic variations in the ADH1B and ALDH2 genes affect developmental outcomes in children based on maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy in a Japanese population.
- Analyzing data from 1727 mother-child pairs, it finds that children of mothers who drank alcohol during pregnancy are at a significantly higher risk for communication delays.
- Specifically, genetic differences in the ALDH2 gene increase the risk of developmental delays, highlighting the importance of both genetic and environmental factors in child development.

Background: The Mendelian randomization approach uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to study the causal association between the risk factors and health outcomes of interest. We aimed to examine the relation between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular risk factors using two genetic variants as instrumental variables: alcohol dehydrogenase 1B () rs1229984 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 () rs671.
Methods: Using data collected in the Taiwan Biobank-an ongoing, prospective, population-based cohort study-our analysis included 129,032 individuals (46,547 men and 82,485 women) with complete data on rs1229984 and rs671 genotypes and alcohol drinking status.

Article Synopsis
- This study tested the safety and effectiveness of KisLip, a yeast-fermented rice extract, on healthy male individuals consuming alcohol.
- Participants consumed alcohol alone or with low/high doses of KisLip, revealing that KisLip decreased peak alcohol and acetaldehyde levels in a dose-dependent way.
- The results showed that KisLip could improve alcohol metabolism and reduce hangover symptoms without any adverse effects.
