Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a complex trait with genetic and environmental influences. Several gene variants have been associated with the risk for AUD, including genes encoding the sub-units of the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors. AIM: This study evaluated whether specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding GABAB receptor sub-units can be considered as candidates for the...
