Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Substantial evidence exists for an important genetic contribution to alcohol dependence risk in women and men. It has been suggested that genetically determined differences in alcohol sensitivity may represent one pathway by which an increase in alcohol dependence risk occurs. METHODS: Telephone interview follow-up data were obtained on twins from male, female and unlike-sex twin pairs who had...
