Abstract excerpt
Crossbred CC57BR/Mv mice inherited tryptophan oxygenase gene and predisposition to alcohol consumption from parent BALB/c and C57BL mice, respectively. In CC57BR/Mv mice no relationships were found between alcohol consumption, tryptophan oxygenase activity, and single nucleotide substitutions in intron 6 of the TDO2 gene associated with predisposition to alcoholism in humans.
