Alternative strategies for uncovering genes contributing to alcoholism risk: unpredictable findings in a genetic wonderland.

Abstract excerpt

In spite of technological advances in genetic mapping, the field of alcoholism genetics has had few findings that could be confirmed. Possible sources for the largely negative results and suggested ways for improving the search for genes contributing to alcoholism risk are discussed. These include the choice of phenotype to be studied, whether narrow or broad, whether only mild or severe forms are included, and...
