Abstract
This article represents the proceedings of a symposium at the 2000 ISBRA Meeting in Yokohama, Japan. The chairs were Shoji Harada and Dharam P. Agarwal. The presentations were (1) Mutations in the exons, exon-intron junctions, and promoter regions of human CYP2E1 gene and alcoholism, by Fumio Nomura; (2) Genetic variability in alcohol metabolism and drinking habits in Japanese, by Shoji Harada; (3) Genetic studies of alcohol dependence using alcoholics with inactive ALDH2, by Susumu Higuchi; and (4) Alcohol consumption, apolipoprotein polymorphisms, and cardiovascular disorders, by Dharam P. Agarwal.
