Abstract excerpt
Previous genetic association studies have reported a possible role of the dopamine transporter (DAT, gene symbol: SLC6A3) gene in the etiology of alcohol dependence, but the results were conflicting with each other. We conducted a pooled analysis of published population-based case-control genetic studies investigating associations between polymorphisms in SLC6A3 and alcohol dependence. We also explored whether...
