“…Although AUBs have varying clinical and epidemiological correlates (Gunn, Finn, Endres, Gerst, & Spinola, 2013; Savage & Dick, 2023; Smith, Shevlin, Murphy, & Houston, 2010), all of its diverse forms have a substantial heritable component, with twin studies suggesting that genetics account for approximately 40-60% of individual differences (Dick, Meyers, Rose, Kaprio, & Kendler, 2011; Verhulst, Neale, & Kendler, 2015). Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have begun to yield success in identifying the specific genes underlying the heritability of AUBs (Deak & Johnson, 2021), particularly for normative drinking (Liu et al, 2019; Mallard et al, 2022) and PAU (Zhou et al, 2023; Zhou et al, 2020).…”
