Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of in vitro nucleic acid detection, and in particular relates to a kit and a method for detecting ALDH2 gene polymorphism based on a FRET probe melting curve method. Background technique
[0002] Human acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is one of the most important enzymes in the pathway of ethanol metabolism, and its coding gene ALDH2 has a high degree of polymorphism. In Asian yellow populations, ALDH2 is the most frequent and most important mutant. Recent studies have shown that ALDH2 can inhibit its carrier's dependence on alcohol to a certain extent, and has a profound relationship with alcoholism, alcoholic liver disease, upper gastrointestinal cancer and gastric cancer caused by alcoholism.
[0003] The ALDH2 gene mutation also reduces the activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase by more than 10 times, which hinders the metabolic process of alcohol from ethanol → acetaldehyde → acetic acid → water and carbon d...
