Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To estimate the magnitude of genetic and environmental influences on timing of first alcohol use and alcohol dependence (AD) and to quantify the overlap in these influences across the two alcohol-related outcomes. PARTICIPANTS: The sample consisted of 5382 twins (2691 complete pairs), aged...
