Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2-a potential genetic risk factor for lung function among southern Chinese: Evidence from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study [PDF]
, 2014 Purpose: In Asia, moderate alcohol users have better lung function. Never users have more inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) alleles (A) potentially generating confounding because inactive alleles may increase acetaldehyde exposure and reduce lung
