An interaction between DAT1 and having an alcoholic father predicts serious alcohol problems in a sample of males
Drug and Alcohol Dependence Volume 104, Issues 1-2, 1 September 2009, Pages 17-22

The current study examines whether the dopamine transporter (DAT1) VNTR polymorphism and paternal alcoholism are related to serious alcohol problems.

These analyses suggest that additive and interactive effects of DAT1 and paternal alcoholism may operate differently across genders and races.
