Drinking group, ALDH2 and ADH1B allele frequency, ethnicity, and level of acculturation by family history (FH) of alcohol problems

Variable	FH– (n = 76)	FH+ (n = 20)	Statistical test
Drinking group (% HD)	36 (47%)	13 (65%)	Fisher Exact p = .21
ALDH2 (*2 Carriers)	27 (36%)	5 (25%)	Fisher Exact p = .44
ADH1B			Fisher Exact p = .19
*1*1	7 (9%)	2 (10%)
*1*2	26 (34%)	11 (55%)
*2*2	43 (57%)	7 (35%)
Ethnicity			Fisher Exact p = .001
Chinese	47 (62%)	4 (20%)
Japanese	3 (4%)	0 (0%)
Korean	19 (25%)	14 (70%)
Mixed ethnicity	7 (9%)	2 (10%)
Acculturation (SD)	54.89 (7.23)	54.50 (5.62)	F = 0.05, p = .82

Notes: FH– = family history–negative; FH+ = family history–positive; HD = heavy drinking.
