Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The dopaminergic system may be involved in the development of alcoholism. As part of our ongoing studies on the association between alcoholism and dopaminergic genes, we report herein a mutation analysis of the 14-3-3 eta chain gene (YWHAH) and an association study between alcoholism and the YWHAH and dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) polymorphisms. METHODS: Nucleotide mutations were investigated using...
