Differences in the regulatory region of the CYP2E1 gene could be responsible for the interindividual variation in the cytochrome P-450 2E1 (CYP2E1) involved in ethanol oxidation. Recently, a polymorphic repeat sequence in the human gene was described between -2178 and -1945 base pairs. Its frequency seemed to vary among different ethnic populations, and it was suspected to be related to an increased inducibility to further ethanol intake. In the study reported here, the frequency of this polymorphism was investigated in a white French population. Its relationship with the previously described PstI/RsaI or DraI CYP2E1 polymorphisms, alcoholism, alcoholic liver disease, and inducibility of CYP2E1 by ethanol was examined.
