Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The age at onset of alcohol dependence (AD) is a critical moderator of genetic associations for alcohol dependence. The present study evaluated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can influence the age at onset of AD in large high-risk families from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA). METHODS: Genomewide SNP genotyping was performed in 1788 regular drinkers from...
