potentially better powered non-Asian population in which to further study this association. Furthermore, rs1229984 is the most widely studied ADH1B SNP in European populations, but two additional functional SNPs (rs1159918, rs1229982), found in the proximal promoter region, were associated with alcoholism in some studies (Edenberg, 2007; Pochareddy & Edenberg, 2011). These associations have not been confirmed in other populations and association between these SNPs and additional alcohol phenotypes (consumption, DSM-IV AUD) has not been examined; further investigation is warranted.
