2018, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, preadolescent rat binged alcohol showed an increase in gene expression of vesicular glutamate transporter-1, Vglut1, and reduced Vglut2 and Vglut3 gene expression in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) in P rats [For review see (Bell et al., 2016)]. It has been found that chronic and severe exposure to alcohol is associated with a SNP in vglut1 in female (Comasco et al., 2014). A genetic variant of GLT-1 was associated with dysregulated behaviors and cirrhosis in alcoholics (Foley et al., 2004; Sander et al., 2000).
Ethanol-Associated Changes in Glutamate Reward Neurocircuitry: A Minireview of Clinical and Preclinical Genetic Findings
2016, Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational ScienceCitation Excerpt :In another recent study, the mGlu3-rs6465084 polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with alcohol dependence in a male Han Chinese cohort.193 A recent study examining the association between polymorphisms in vesicular glutamate transporters and severe alcoholism in a female Swedish cohort indicated a nominally significant association with Slc17a6-rs2290045.194 A study evaluating associations between alcohol dependence and GAD genes (Gad1 and Gad2), the enzyme responsible for conversion of glutamate to GABA, in a subset of the Irish Affected Sib Pair Study of Alcohol Dependence sample reported that two polymorphisms in Gad1 were associated with initial sensitivity to alcohol and a different polymorphism in Gad1 was associated with age at alcohol dependence onset.195
