Evidence for genetic mediation of alcoholism in women.

Journal of substance abuse - 1 Jan 1991

Hill S Y, Smith T R

Abstract excerpt

This review focuses on the etiology of alcoholism in women, examining the role of genetic vulnerability. The review is organized with respect to (1) the genetic epidemiology of alcoholism in women; (2) genetic models that take gender into account; (3) further discussion of the genetic heterogeneity of alcoholism as it relates to gender; and (4) presentation of data obtained from the Pittsburgh family study.
