alcogene

To use this RFLP technique I needed three things: (1) a road map of DNA that would indicate likely sites for the alcogene(s); (2) a source of DNA specimens from a respectable sample of known alcoholics; and (3) sources of DNA probes that could be sent in like ferrets to locate the abnormal alcogene(s).

Out of these studies may come diagnostic tools that will make it possible to determine, for example, the degree of risk of alcoholic predisposition (1) in the prenatal period; (2) in young children; (3) in adults who may have the alcogene(s) but have not yet established a drinking habit; and (4) in alcoholics who enter treatment and want to know if their problem is genetic in origin.
