A second area of the genome that was identified in the present study for the SRE FIRST FIVE phenotype was on chromosome 9 @11 cM (LOD score 4.5). This site is near a location (35 cM) that has been reported previously to be linked to cannabis craving (Ehlers et al., 2009b) in the San Francisco Family Alcoholism study. Additionally, a location near this area on chromosome 9 was identified in a South West Indian population for an alcohol dependence phenotype (Long et al., 1998). This site has also been identified for smoking phenotypes (Wang et al., 2005; Li et al., 2008).
