Meta-analysis of the association of the Taq1A polymorphism with the risk of alcohol dependency: a HuGE gene-disease association review.

American journal of epidemiology - 15 Jan 2008

Smith Lesley, Watson Marion, Gates Simon, Ball David, Foxcroft David

Abstract excerpt

The human dopamine 2 receptor Taq1A allele has been implicated as a vulnerability factor for alcohol dependence in a number of studies and reviews. To determine whether this allele is associated with alcoholism, the authors conducted a Human Genome Epidemiology review and meta-analysis. Forty-four studies with 9,382 participants were included. An odds ratio of 1.38 (95% confidence interval: 1.20, 1.58;...
