P Value:		7.00E-03
Tissue:		Prefrontal cortex

Dataset Information

Name:		15816859
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens
Phenotype:		Alcohol dependence (AD)/Alcohol abuse/Alcoholism
Publication:		Flatscher-Bader et al. J Neurochem.(2005) Alcohol-responsive genes in the frontal cortex and nucleus accumbens of human alcoholics. PubMed
Summary:		Genes with a mean fold change > 1.5 or < 0.7 were selected and annotated. Values are taken from microarray analysis and represent mean ratios of alcoholic cases compared with matched control cases(n = 6). P values were from t-test.

ADH6

Dataset Information

Name:		18477577
Method:		Addiction array gene list
Publication:		Hodgkinson et al. Alcohol Alcohol. (2008) Addictions Biology: Haplotype-Based Analysis for 130 Candidate Genes on a Single Array. PubMed
Summary:		To develop a panel of markers able to extract full haplotype information for candidate genes in alcoholism, other addictions and disorders of mood and anxiety. Methods: A total of 130 genes were haplotype tagged and genotyped in 7 case/control populations and 51 reference populations using Illumina GoldenGate SNP genotyping technology, determining haplotype coverage. The 130 candidate genes were selected on the basis of their roles in functional domains important in the addictions and in the related phenotypes of anxiety and depression. The candidate genes included a limited number involved in the pharmacokinetic domain (e.g. several genes in the ADH gene cluster, and ALDH genes). The majority of the genes represent the domains of vulnerability to drug use and pharmacodynamic response. These include dopamine, serotonin, glutamine, GABA, and opioid neurotransmitter genes, signaling genes, and genes modulating stress resiliency and behavioral dyscontrol domains. There is a high degree of overlap between functional gene categories because of pleiotropic actions of molecules on behavior.

Dataset Information

Name:		Literature Search
Method:		Literature search
Summary:		We search all human protein coding gene names and the keywords Alcohol or Ethanol or Alcoholism in the title or abstract of all PUBMED publications. For those gene name less than 3 characters or search result hits more than 100, we use the full name to search again and manually check the results to reduce false positive.

Summary:		HuGE Navigator Phenopedia provides a disease-centered view of genetic association studies summarized in the online Human Genome Epidemiology (HuGE) encyclopedia. We extracted genes associated to 9 Alcohol-related diseases (Alcohol Amnestic Disorder; Alcohol Withdrawal Delirium; Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures; Alcohol-Induced Disorders; Alcohol-Induced Disorders, Nervous System; Alcohol-Related Disorders; Alcoholic Intoxication; Alcoholic Neuropathy; Alcoholism) from HuGE Navigator Phenopedia.

Region:		92691777-121646580
Phenotype:		ADSX (number of DSM-IV AD symptoms)
Name:		16534506
Method:		Linkage
Publication:		Prescott et al. Mol Psychiatry. (2006) Genomewide linkage study in the Irish affected sib pair study of alcohol dependence: evidence for a susceptibility region for symptoms of alcohol dependence on chromosome 4. PubMed
Summary:		We conducted a genome scan in the Irish Affected Sib Pair Study of Alcohol Dependence (IASPSAD). A 4 cM genome scan was conducted using 474 families of which most (96%) were comprised by affected sib pairs. Nonparametric and quantitative linkage analyses were conducted using DSM-IV alcohol dependence (AD) and number of DSM-IV AD symptoms (ADSX). Quantitative results indicate strong linkage for number of AD criteria to a broad region of chromosome 4, ranging from 4q22 to 4q32 (peak multipoint LOD=4.59, P=2.1 x 10(-6), at D4S1611). We got the gene list in the region between two markers D4S423 and D4S427 as markers between (included) these two markers have LOD scores >2 with P value <0.0003.
