GABRA2, alcohol, and illicit drug use: An event-level model of genetic risk for polysubstance use.

Journal of abnormal psychology - 1 Feb 2018

Mallard Travis T, Ashenhurst James R, Harden K Paige, Fromme Kim

Abstract excerpt

GABRA2, the gene encoding the α2 subunit of the GABAA receptor, potentially plays a role in the etiology of problematic drinking, as GABRA2 genotype has been associated with subjective response to alcohol and other alcohol-related reward processes. The GABRA2 gene has also been associated with illicit drug use, but the extent to which associations with drug use are independent of associations with alcohol use...
