ALCOHOLISM[edit]
While not diagnosed in my family, this has been a problem. They claim you can never have alcohol if you have this problem. I was an episodic alcoholic in my 20s and stopped drinking for 21 years. Since entering my 50s, I have drank only moderately, though even that is now restricted because it makes me sick due to my Type II Diabetes. I have not had three drinks in one month, much less one day, for about five years. Moderate drinkers have less than 12 drinks a week and no more than three in a day.

Associations and interactions between SNPs in the alcohol metabolizing genes and alcoholism phenotypes in European Americans[edit]
ALDH1A3[edit]
The ALDH1A3 Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. The enzyme encoded by this gene uses retinal as a substrate, either in a free or cellular retinol-binding protein form.[PMID 16004729]
Several SNPs in ALDH1A3 A number of ALDH genes are upregulated as a part of the oxidative stress response and inexplicably overexpressed in various tumours, leading to problems during cancer chemotherapy. Mutations in ALDH genes cause inborn errors of metabolism--such as the Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, type II hyperprolinaemia and gamma-hydroxybutyric aciduria--and are likely to contribute to several complex diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. The ALDH gene products appear to be multifunctional proteins, possessing both catalytic and non-catalytic properties.
