Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the fields of molecular biology and nucleic acid detection, and specifically designs a pair of specific primers for amplifying the ALDH2 gene and a specific probe for detecting the ALDH2 gene chip. Background technique
[0002] Human acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is a tetrameric protein that catalyzes the oxidation of acetaldehyde and other aliphatic aldehydes. There is a single nucleotide polymorphism (single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP) in exon 12 of the ALDH2 gene—rs671, and a base substitution occurs: guanine (G) → adenine (A), which leads to a codon change: GAA→AAA, and then the 504th amino acid of the enzyme changed, glutamic acid (Glu)→lysine (Lys). There are two alleles of ALDH2: wild-type (ALDH2*1, *504Glu), mutant (ALDH2*2, *504Lys). Studies have confirmed that the mutation of ALDH2 leads to significant changes in enzyme activity, which will seriously affect the metabolism of alcohol, nitroglycerin, etc., and t...
