An assessment of the genetic relationship between alcohol metabolism and alcoholism risk in Australian twins of European ancestry.

Behavior genetics - 1 Nov 1999

Grant J D, Heath A C, Madden P A, Bucholz K K, Whitfield J B, Martin N G

Abstract excerpt

The present analyses examined genetic influences on alcohol metabolism and their possible relationship to risk of alcohol dependence. Subjects were 206 Australian twin pairs who participated in an alcohol challenge protocol in 1979-1981, in which they were given a 0.75 g/kg dose of alcohol; blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) measured at five times over a 3-hr period after alcohol ingestion were examined....
