Effects of the genetic variants of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes on lipid levels in Asian populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Published in: Nutrition reviews (2022)

The rs671 and rs1229984 variants of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes have significant effects on lipid levels and may serve as genetic markers for lipid dyslipidemia in East Asian populations. Circulating lipid levels in Japanese individuals and in males were modulated by the interaction between rs671 and alcohol intake.
