Molecular Genetics and Biology of Alcoholism, 1989-10-10 - 1989-10-13

Scope and Contents

Molecular Genetics and Biology of Alcoholism meeting reviewed the data on the inheritance of alcoholism and attempted to evaluate future strategies. Most common disorders do not have a simple pattern of inheritance and probably result from interactions between the environment and one or more of a number of genes. Alcoholism is a classic example of such a complex disease.
