The search for candidate genes of alcoholism: evidence from expression profiling studies.

Abstract excerpt

Alcoholism is the outcome of complex interactions between the environment and multiple gene loci, which may encode pre-existing susceptibility, or contribute to the neuroadaptations underlying the process of developing dependence. Because of this, the prospect of simultaneous, genome wide, high-throughput analysis of gene expression allowed by microarray technology has met with great expectations. The hope has...
