The heritability of alcohol abuse and dependence: a meta-analysis of behavior genetic research.

The American journal of drug and alcohol abuse - 1 Jan 2002

Walters Glenn D

Abstract excerpt

A meta-analysis was performed on 50 family, twin, and adoption studies in which problem drinking and alcohol dependence served as the primary criterion measure. The results showed that far from being an established "fact," the genetic foundations of alcohol misuse are modest and heterogeneous. A weighted mean phi effect size of 0.12 (95% Confidence Interval = 0.11-0.12) was obtained for the total sample of 72...
