Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Preclinical studies implicate the gene encoding the alpha synuclein protein (SNCA) in the pathophysiology of alcohol dependence and dopamine neuron function. Results from clinical studies are less conclusive. Using neurobiological phenotypes in genetic studies, rather than typical heterogeneous diagnostic categories derived from self-report, may improve reliability across studies. This study aimed to...
