Abstract excerpt
Possible association between polymorphisms at the D2 dopamine receptor gene (DRD2) and alcohol dependence has been controversial since first proposed in 1990. The most studied polymorphisms to date are the TaqI "A" and "B" systems; they are unlikely to convey a physiological effect directly, and have not been demonstrated to be in linkage disequilibrium with any common polymorphism more likely to convey such an...
