Krueppel-Like Factor 12 (KLF-12) (chromosome 13q22.1) potentially relates to acute functional tolerance to alcohol in C. elegans and to effects of alcohol in the nucleus accumbens and the ventral tegementum (Adkins et al., 2017; Wolen et al., 2012). This gene has not been directly evaluated in humans regarding alcohol sensitivity.
