Source
Can we identify genes for alcohol consumption in samples ascertained for heterogeneous purposes?
Embedded
yes

Text

To further assess the effect of having light drinkers in samples (i.e. samples unselected for heaviness of consumption), post-hoc analyses will examine the effects of truncating heaviness of consumption by excluding the lowest 10%, 20%, and 40% of the distribution of consumption. Cultural causes of low consumption will be disproportionately represented in the extreme lower tail of the distribution of consumption and may dampen linkage signals.
