FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

corresponding disease(s)

EIEE78

Susceptibility

susceptibility to alcohol dependence by modulating the level of neural excitation

Variant & Polymorphism other	genetic variations in GABRA2 might play a role in the risk of alcohol use disorders by moderating the subjective effects of alcohol

Candidate gene
Marker
Therapy target
	System Type Disorder Pubmed psychiatry     may therefore represent a novel target for the development of more effective antidepressants

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

genetic inactivation of Gabra2 would generate a depressive-like phenotype in mice
