Abstract:
Thirty nuclear families ascertained through an alcoholic proband were studied using segregation and linkage analyses. Linkage was investigated between a putative alcoholism susceptibility (AS) gene and six blood group markers: ABO, Rhesus, Duffy, Kidd, Kell, and MNS. Evidence is presented suggestive of linkage between susceptibility to alcoholism and the MNS blood group.
