Abstract excerpt
Alcohol dependence (AD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder to which both genetic and environmental factors contribute. Especially, multiple genetic factors are promising to explain the etiology of AD. microRNAs (miRNAs) are members of a family of noncoding small RNAs, which are thought to be responsible for the altered gene expression in neuropsychiatric disorders. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms...
