Abstract excerpt

Among the different possible genes involved in the alcoholism etiology, the X-linked monoamine oxidase A gene is a good candidate. The aim of this study was to assess whether a functional VNTR polymorphism in the promoter region of the monoamine oxidase A gene is associated with alcoholism, comparing patients of both sexes. Ninety-three alcohol-dependent patients (51 males, 42 females) and 93 sex-matched normal...
