BackgroundOxidation of ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) generates acetaldehyde (AcH), which is converted to acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase‐2 (ALDH2). Roughly 40% of East Asians are ALDH2‐deficient due to an inactive enzyme encoded by theALDH2*2allele. ALDH2‐deficient individuals have a dramatically elevated risk of esophageal cancer from alcohol consumption.MethodsWe investigated the relationship betweenALDH2*2,ADH1B*2(encoding a highly active ADH) and erythrocyte abnormalities, in a population of Japanese alcoholic men (N= 1,238).ResultsMacrocytosis (mean corpuscular volume [MCV] ≥100 fl) and macrocytic anemia (MCV ≥100 fl and hemoglobin <13.5 g/dl) were found in 62.4 and 24.1% of the subjects, respectively. Age‐adjusted daily alcohol consumption did not differ according to ADH1B and ALDH2 genotypes. However, macrocytosis and macrocytic anemia were strongly associated with theALDH2*1/*2genotype multivariate odds ratios (ORs; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.85 [1.95 to 4.18] and 3.68 [2.64 to 5.15], respectively, versusALDH2*1/*1). In comparison with theADH1B*1/*1andALDH2*1/*1genotype combination, theADH1B*1/*1andALDH2*1/*2genotype combination and theADH1B*2allele andALDH2*1/*2genotype combination increased stepwise the ORs (95% CI) for macrocytosis (1.65 [0.92 to 2.94] and 4.07 [2.33 to 7.11], respectively,pfor difference in OR = 0.015) and macrocytic anemia (2.80 [1.52 to 5.15] and 5.32 [3.29 to 8.62], respectively,pfor difference in OR = 0.045). Genotype effects were more prominent on the risks of the more advanced erythrocyte abnormalities. Older age, cigarette smoking, and low body mass index independently increased the risks of the erythrocyte abnormalities. Consumption of beer, which contains folate, decreased the risks, whereas consumption of alcoholic beverages lacking folate did not.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the erythrocyte abnormalities in alcoholics are attributable to high AcH exposure as well as to nutritional deficiencies and may be prevented by folate.
