Objectives Three recent studies revealed a haplotypic association of alcohol dependence
with the gene encoding the α 2 subunit of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A) receptor …

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptors are believed to mediate some of the
physiological and behavioral actions of ethanol. Recent studies have suggested that genetic …

Objective: The genes encoding the γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor have been the

Background: Two recent large genetic studies in the US population have reported
association between genetic variation in γ‐amino butyric acid α2 receptor subtype …

Background: Multiple studies have shown that genetic variation in the α‐2 subunit of the
gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor (GABRA2) is associated with risk for …

Quantitative trait analyses in mice suggest a vulnerability locus for physiological alcohol
withdrawal severity on a chromosomal segment that harbors the genes encoding the α1, α6 …

Alcohol dependence is a common chronic disorder precipitated by the complex interaction
between biological, genetic and environmental risk factors. Recent studies have …

Associations between the γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABA A) and alcohol
