Genome-wide association and genetic functional studies identify autism susceptibility candidate 2 gene (AUTS2) in the regulation of alcohol consumption

Gunter Schumann, +122 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study meta-analysis of ∼2.5 million directly genotyped or imputed SNPs with alcohol consumption among 12 population-based samples of European ancestry finds a genotype-specific expression of AUTS2 in 96 human prefrontal cortex samples and finds a regulator of alcohol consumption.

Happyhour, a Ste20 Family Kinase, Implicates EGFR Signaling in Ethanol-Induced Behaviors

TL;DR: Genetic and biochemical experiments revealed that the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-signaling pathway regulates ethanol sensitivity in Drosophila and that Hppy functions as an inhibitor of the pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid and chronic: two distinct forms of ethanol tolerance in Drosophila.

TL;DR: The utility of Drosophila, with its accessibility to genetic, molecular, and behavioral analyses, as a model organism to study tolerance development in response to different ethanol-exposure regimens, is explored.
