As the dopaminergic and GABAergic systems have been implicated in alcohol-related behaviors, variants of the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) and GABA(A) receptor beta3 subunit (GABRB3) genes were determined in a population-based association study of Caucasian non-alcoholic and alcoholic subjects. In severe alcoholics, compared to non-alcoholics, a significant increase was found in the prevalence (P = 1.7 x 10(-5)) and frequency (P = 1.6 x 10(-5)) of the DRD2 minor (A1) allele. Moreover, a significant progressive increase was observed in A1 allelic prevalence (P = 3.1 x 10(-6)) and frequency (P = 2.7 x 10(-6)) in the order of non-alcoholics, less severe and severe alcoholics. In severe alcoholics, compared to non-alcoholics, a significant decrease was found in the prevalence (P = 4.5 x 10(-3)) and frequency (P = 2.7 x 10(-2)) of the GABRB3 major (G1) allele. Furthermore, a significant progressive decrease was noted in G1 allelic prevalence (P = 2.4 x 10(-3)) and frequency (P = 1.9 x 10(-2)) in non-alcoholics, less severe and severe alcoholics, respectively. In sum, in the same population of non-alcoholics and alcoholics studied, variants of both the DRD2 and GABRB3 genes independently contribute to the risk for alcoholism, with the DRD2 variants revealing a stronger effect than the GABRB3 variants. However, when the DRD2 and the GABRB3 variants are combined, the risk for alcoholism is more robust than when these variants are considered separately.
