Abstract

This paper reports the identification of a novel cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 ( ALDH1A1 ) allele. One hundred and sixty-two Indo-Trinidadian and 85 Afro-Trinidadian individuals were genotyped. A novel ALDH1A1 allele, ALDH1A1*4 , was identified in an Indo-Trinidadian alcoholic with an A inserted at position -554 relative to the translational start site, +1. It was concluded that a wider cross-section of individuals needs to be evaluated in order to determine the representative frequency of the allele, and to see if it is associated with risk of alcoholism.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 March 2010.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Human Genomics
#211
of 564 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,073
of 122,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Human Genomics
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 564 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 122,278 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
