Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Animal and human studies indicate that GABBR1, encoding the GABAB1 receptor subunit, and SLC6A1, encoding the neuronal gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter GAT1, play a role in addiction by modulating synaptic GABA. Therefore, variants in these genes might predict risk/resilience for alcoholism. METHODS: This study included 3 populations that differed by ethnicity and alcoholism phenotype:...
