Abstract—Frequencies of alleles and genotypes for alcohol dehydrogenase gene ADH1B (arg47his polymor- phism), associated with alcohol tolerance/sensitivity, were determined. It was demonstrated that the frequency of allele ADH1B*47his, corresponding to atypical alcohol dehydrogenase variant in Russians, Ukrainians, Ira- nians, and mountain-dwellers of the Pamirs constituted 3, 7, 24, and 22%, respectively. The frequencies estab- lished were consistent with the allele frequency distribution pattern among the populations of Eurasia. Russians and Ukrainians were indistinguishable from other European populations relative to the frequency of allele ADH1B*47his, and consequently, relative to specific features of ethanol metabolic pathways. The data obtained provide refinement of the geographic pattern of ADH1B*47his frequency distribution in Eurasia.

Of that article you posted on your site that said half of Russians were descendants of Genghis Khan because they carried more of the gene than other Europeans.
Quiet clearly they don't.

So, you don't know what I am supposed to correct?

So, you don't know what I am supposed to correct? Quite clearly you don't, but you should, considering you posted it on your blog.

In the future, if you are going to suggest that I "correct" something you will provide a full citation, a link to what I am supposed to "correct", and an explanation of why what I wrote is wrong.

Been looking for it, but haven't found it yet.
