Susceptibility
  • to lung adenocarcinoma and to alcoholism
  • to acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)
  • to oral clefts
  • to head and neck cancer
  • to alcoholic cirrhosis
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • variant 5 increases the risk of ALL
  • homozygote genotypes of PstI/RsaI or DraI polymorphism might be associated with an increased risk of head and neck cancer
  • combination of variant genotype of CYP2E1 5B with GABRG2, significantly increased the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis
