Abstract
The human gene for producing alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; EC 1.1.1.1) is polymorphic at ADH 2 and ADH 3 loci. Until now, the study of this polymorphism required liver biopsy or allele-specific radioactive probes. We have used directed mutagenesis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and analyze the genotype of ADH 2 and ADH 3 loci. Thus, we could determine easily and unambiguously the complete genotype at these two loci by using a microsample of blood and restriction fragment length polymorphism after DNA amplification by PCR.Entities:
