The prevalence of ADH1B*2 also was high in three Korean samples, with 88 to 96 percent of participants possessing at least one ADH1B*2 allele and 50 to 65 percent possessing two ADH1B*2 alleles (Goedde et al. 1992; Luczak et al. 2004; Shen et al. 1997). Among Filipinos and Malays, more than 80 percent of study participants carried at least one ADH1B*2 allele (Goedde et al. 1992) as well. Intermediate rates were found in Thais (54 percent), and ADH1B*2 was least common in Indians, where only 15 percent possessed at least one copy of the allele (Goedde et al. 1992).
