OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism Ile349Val of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase ADH1C gene among individuals with alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. METHODS: A total of 120 subjects residing in Rio de Janeiro city participated in this study. Subjects were divided into two groups: a group consisting of 54 individuals from the ADS group and 66 individuals that declared not having any alcohol dependence (control group). DNA was extracted from mouth epithelial cells by phenol-chloroform method and further submitted to amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: Our results did not show differences between the genotypes of control individuals and ADS subjects. Nevertheless, we found increased rates of alcoholism in families of ADS subjects as compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS: Our results did not show any genotype difference on the ADH1C gene when control and AA genotypes are compared.

The two common genetic variants of alcohol dehydrogenase in D. melanogaster, ADH-F and ADH-S, differ in substrate specificity and electrophoretic mobility. A third inherited variant, ADH-FCh.D., has a substrate specificity like ADH-S, an electrophoretic mobility like ADH-F, but much greater thermostability than either of the others. ADH-FCh.D. can be identified after post-electrophoresis heat treatment (15 s at 43�C) on cellulose acetate sheets. The AdhFCh?D ? allele has been found in 19 of 34 natural populations in Australasia but its frequency in these populations does not exceed 0�06. The partial correlation between AdhFCh ?D ? frequency and a maximum temperature variable is significant and positive among the Australasian populations although different climatic associations are found for a thermostable form of ADH-F in North America.
