Gene in Ethanol Study Datasets

Gene Information

Original ID1:		AI521556
Fold Change:		-1.5, -1.7
Note:		Differential Expression on the cDNA array (two fold changes are from two case groups)

Dataset Information

Name:		11141048
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Frontal cortex
Phenotype:		Alcohol dependence (AD)/Alcohol abuse/Alcoholism
Publication:		Lewohl et al. Alcohol Clin Exp Res. (2000) Gene expression in human alcoholism: microarray analysis of frontal cortex. PubMed
Summary:		RNA was extracted from postmortem samples of superior frontal cortex of alcoholics and nonalcoholics. Relative levels of RNA were determined by array techniques. This study used both cDNA and oligonucleotide microarrays to provide coverage of a large number of genes and to allow cross-validation for those genes represented on both types of arrays. Expression levels were determined for over 4000 genes and 163 of these were found to differ by 40% or more between alcoholics and nonalcoholics.

Dataset Information

Name:		12774316
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Temporal cortex
Phenotype:		Alcohol dependence (AD)/Alcohol abuse/Alcoholism
Publication:		Sokolov et al. J Neurosci Res. (2003) Transcription profiling reveals mitochondrial, ubiquitin and signaling systems abnormalities in postmortem brains from subjects with a history of alcohol abuse or dependence. PubMed
Summary:		To identify candidate mechanisms for alcohol abuse, the expression of 12,626 genes was measured in postmortem temporal cortex from 11 subjects with a history of alcohol abuse or dependence, with or without other psychiatric diagnoses and compared pairwise with the expression in 11 nonalcoholic subjects matched for the other psychiatric diagnoses and demographics. Genes were defined to have altered expression in alcohol abuse if: 1) the gene showed decreased expression in at least 10 of 11 subjects with alcohol abuse, or showed increased expression in at least 10 of 11 subjects with this diagnosis compared to matched non-abusers (P<0.007, X2test); or 2) the difference in the mean abuser/non-abuser ratio for the gene from value of 1.0 was significant at P<0.05 (one sample t-test). In subjects with a history of alcohol abuse or dependence, 163 genes were changed significantly.

Gene Information

Original ID1:		Z11793
Fold Change:		2.28

Dataset Information

Name:		15236863
Method:		Microarray
Tissue:		Prefrontal cortex
Phenotype:		Alcohol dependence (AD)/Alcohol abuse/Alcoholism
Publication:		Iwamoto et al. Neurosci Res. (2004) Decreased expression of NEFH and PCP4/PEP19 in the prefrontal cortex of alcoholics. PubMed
Summary:		We have performed oligonucleotide microarray analysis in postmortem prefrontal cortices of alcoholics. Among about 12,000 genes represented on microarray, a total of 79 genes showed differential expression changes in alcoholics compared with control subjects, consisting of 54 up- and 25 down-regulated genes.
