Additional alcohol dehydrogenase isoform.

Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs698 ADH1C-1 Ile350Val Population frequency: 40.0% Chr. 4 : 100,229,017
Genotype Impact What it means
AA (Normal) Normal Faster alcohol-to-acetaldehyde conversion - alcohol is processed quickly but acetaldehyde can spike. Keep alcohol moderate.
AG (Carrier) Low impact Intermediate alcohol metabolism. Keep alcohol moderate and well spaced; support the liver with cruciferous vegetables and antioxidants.
GG (Variant) Moderate Slower alcohol metabolism - alcohol lingers longer. Limit intake, hydrate, and avoid drinking on an empty stomach.
