    Main Methods:

    • Review of current molecular biology techniques.
    • Analysis of marker technology in genetic research.
    • Integration of classical genetic knowledge with molecular findings.

    Main Results:

    • Marker technology enables direct detection of genetic abnormalities.
    • Potential to identify and localize specific genes associated with psychiatric conditions.
    • Advances in understanding the genetic underpinnings of alcoholism.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular biology is revolutionizing psychiatric research.
    • Marker technology is crucial for identifying specific genes in psychiatric illness.
    • This approach promises precise identification of genetic factors in alcoholism.
