The heritability of alcohol use disorders: a meta-analysis of twin and adoption studies.

Psychological medicine - 1 Apr 2015

Verhulst B, Neale M C, Kendler K S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: To clarify the role of genetic and environmental risk factors in alcohol use disorders (AUDs), we performed a meta-analysis of twin and adoption studies and explored the impact of sex, assessment method (interview v. hospital/population records), and study design (twin v. adoption study) on heritability estimates. METHOD: The literature was searched for all unique twin and adoption studies of AUD and...
