Abstract excerpt
The DPYSL2 gene at 8p22-p21 is expressed widely in neuronal tissues and has been implicated in multiple psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. We therefore hypothesized that DPYSL2 gene polymorphisms may play a role in alcohol dependence (AD). We investigated the genetic associations of 57 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the DPYSL2 gene with AD using two Caucasian...
