     This data set contains eight ALDH2 markers and Japanese alcohlic
     patients (y=1) and controls (y=0). There are genotypes for 8 loci,
     with a prefix  name (e.g., "EXON12") and a suffix for each of two
     alleles (".a1" and ".a2").

     The eight markers loci follows the following map (base pairs)

       D12S2070  (> 450 000),
       D12S839   (> 450 000),
       D12S821   (~ 400 000),
       D12S1344  (   83 853),
       EXON12        (    0),
       EXON1     (   37 335),
       D12S2263  (   38 927),
       D12S1341   (> 450 000)
