“…After locating these SNPs in genes (the start and end positions of genes were obtained from the GENE database of NCBI as of February 2002), we obtained 222 candidate genes associated with alcoholism. Among these genes, many have been previously demonstrated to be associated with alcoholism, including GRM7 (Vadasz et al, 2007), NRXN1 (Shah et al, 2010;Wisniowiecka-Kowalnik et al, 2010), ERBB4 (Luo and Miller, 2000), GRIA1 (Hu et al, 2008), ITPR1 (Saito et al, 1996), NTS (Ehlers et al, 1999;Erwin et al, 2001), TTN (Hunter et al, 2003), LAMB1 (Mash et al, 2007) and VWF (Mash et al, 2007). NRXN1 is the only gene that could also be detected by haplotype analysis.…”
