The serotonin transporter gene and risk for alcohol dependence: a meta-analytic review.

Drug and alcohol dependence - 1 Apr 2010

McHugh R Kathryn, Hofmann Stefan G, Asnaani Anu, Sawyer Alice T, Otto Michael W

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have implicated a relationship between particular allelic variations of the serotonin transporter gene (5HTTLPR) and alcohol dependence. To provide a current estimate of the strength of this association, particularly in light of inconsistent results for 5HTTLPR, we conducted a meta-analytic review of the association between 5HTTLPR and a clinical diagnosis of alcohol dependence. Of 145 studies...
