Best friends and alcohol use in adolescence: the role of the dopamine D4 receptor gene.

Addiction biology - 1 Nov 2012

van der Zwaluw Carmen S, Larsen Helle, Engels Rutger C M E

Abstract excerpt

The influence of friends and peers is theoretically one of the most consistent and important factors explaining adolescent alcohol use. However, not all adolescents are equally likely to be influenced by their friends' drinking behaviors. Genetic factors may underlie these inter-individual differences in susceptibility to the drinking behavior of friends. Because the long allele (≥ 7 repeats) of the dopamine D4...
