Recent studies from our laboratory indicate that 2,3-butanediol, one of two unusual metabolites found in human alcoholic blood, is predominantly associated with human subjects who suffer alcoholic hepatitis or alcoholic cirrhosis (Casazza et al., Alcohol and Alcoholism, Suppl. 1: 607-609, 1987). The mechanism of the formation of 2,3-butanediol via pyruvate dehydrogenase was initially proposed by Veech et al. (Curr. Top. Cell. Regul 18: 151- 179, 1981). Based on the proposal, we have just started a project to clone pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) gene and to characterized its gene in light of developing a specific probe for a genetic marker for human alcoholism.

我们实验室的最新研究表明，2,3-丁二醇， 在人类酒精血液中发现的两个不寻常的代谢产物之一是 主要与受苦的人类受试者有关 酒精性肝炎或酒精性肝硬化（Casazza等人，酒精 和酒精中毒，补充。 1：607-609，1987）。 机制 通过丙酮酸脱氢酶形成2,3-丁二醇 最初由Veech等人提出。 （Curr。top。Cell。Condul18：151- 179，1981）。 根据该提议，我们刚刚开始了一个项目 克隆丙酮酸脱氢酶（PDH）基因并进行表征 它的基因鉴于为遗传开发特异性探针 人类酒精中毒的标志。
