THE ROLE OF GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS IN ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISEASE

21 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

Chronic alcohol consumption is a major cause of liver cirrhosis which, however, develops in only a minority of heavy drinkers. Evidence from twin studies indicates that genetic factors account for at least 50% of individual susceptibility. The contribution of genetic factors to the development of diseases may be investigated either by means of animal experiments, through linkage studies in families of affected...
