Genetic Epidemiology, Translational Neurogenomics, Psychiatric Genetics and Statistical Genetics Laboratories investigate the pattern of disease in families, particularly identical and non-identical twins, to assess the relative importance of genes and environment in a variety of important health problems.

TITLE
Aversive reactions and alcohol use in Europeans.
ABSTRACT
Two hundred subjects of European descent completed a questionnaire about alcohol use and reactions to alcohol. Eleven subjects (5.5%) reported that they always experienced unpleasant reactions after small amounts of alcohol, and these subjects reported significantly lower levels for quantity and frequency of habitual alcohol use, and fewer drinks in the preceding 7 days, than the other subjects. Reactions to alcohol, either genetic or acquired, can therefore be significant in determining alcohol use in non-Asian groups.
