2004) were associated with alcohol dependence in the EA sample, and 17 SNPs in the much smaller AA sample. In GABRA1 (Dick et al., 2006), we found 3 SNPs associated with alcohol dependence and 4 with early onset. Many SNPs in and near GABRG2 were also associated with dependence (and early onset). Thus, overall, there continues to be evidence that variations in GABAA receptors affect alcohol dependence.
