Alcohol-Induced Stimulation Mediates the Effect of a GABRA2 SNP on Alcohol Self-Administrated among Alcohol-Dependent Individuals.

Alcohol and alcoholism (Oxford, Oxfordshire) - 1 Sept 2016

Boyd Stephen J, Schacht Joseph P, Prisciandaro James J, Voronin Konstantin, Anton Raymond F

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in GABRA2 (rs279858) may moderate subjective response (SR) to alcohol. Results of studies in non-dependent drinkers examining this GABRA2 SNP on SR have been equivocal. This study examined this SNP's direct and indirect effects on alcohol self-administration in dependent drinkers. METHOD: The sample consisted of 63 Caucasian, non-treatment-seeking individuals...
