Genetics

Curated Collection

This Curated Collection includes ARCR articles that explore the role of genetic influences on the risk for alcohol use disorder, genetic susceptibility to alcohol-related harm to the body, and different risk vulnerabilities across subpopulations. It also explores interactions of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors on those risks. Developed by ARCR editors, Curated Collections highlight journal content to help guide readers to topics of interest in the field of alcohol research.
