TL;DR
An allelic association of the TAQ I A1 D2 dopamine receptor gene polymorphism has been found in homogeneous populations of alcoholics from France.
Abstract
An allelic association of the TAQ I A1 D2 dopamine receptor gene polymorphism has been found in homogeneous populations of alcoholics from France.

Three dimensions of personality have been described that may reflect individual differences in brain systems modulating the activation, maintenance, and inhibition of behavioral responses to the effects of alcohol and other environmental stimuli that distinguish alcoholics with different patterns of behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuropharmacological responses to alcohol.
Archives of General PsychiatryInheritance of Alcohol Abuse
1,899 Citations1981C. Robert Cloninger
The inheritance of alcoholism was studied in 862 Swedish men adopted by nonrelatives at an early age and found that both the congenital and postnatal backgrounds of the adoptees modify their risk for alcohol abuse.
JAMAAllelic Association of Human Dopamine D2 Receptor Gene in Alcoholism
1,041 Citations1990Kenneth Blum
The polymorphic pattern of this receptor gene suggests that a gene that confers susceptibility to at least one form of alcoholism is located on the q22-q23 region of chromosome 11.
Archives of General PsychiatryAllelic Association of the D2 Dopamine Receptor Gene With Receptor-Binding Characteristics in Alcoholism or Gene ism
662 Citations1991Ernest P. Noble
The polymorphic pattern of the D2 dopamine receptor gene and its differential expression of receptors suggests the involvement of the dopaminergic system in conferring susceptibility to at least one subtype of severe alcoholism.

625 Citations1991Holly R. Thomasson, Howard J. Edenberg +8 more
The genotypes of the ADH2, ADH3, and ALDH2 loci of alcoholic and nonalcoholic Chinese men living in Taiwan are determined using leukocyte DNA amplified by the PCR and allele-specific oligonucleotides, suggesting that genetic variation in both ADH and AL DH, by modulating the rate of metabolism of ethanol and acetaldehyde, influences drinking behavior and the risk of developing alcoholism.
JAMAThe Dopamine D2 Receptor Locus as a Modifying Gene in Neuropsychiatric Disorders
581 Citations1991David E. Comings
The results suggest the A1 allele of the DRD2 gene is associated with a number of behavior disorders in which it may act as a modifying gene rather than as the primary etiological agent.

488 Citations1991Roy W. Pickens
Genetic influence on risk for alcoholism was examined in a US treatment sample of 50 monozygotic (MZ) and 64 dizygotic (DZ) male and 31 MZ and 24 DZ female same-sex twin pairs, suggesting forms of alcoholism that may be moderately to highly heritable.
PubMedThe human dopamine D2 receptor gene is located on chromosome 11 at q22-q23 and identifies a TaqI RFLP.
424 Citations1989D. K. Grandy, M. Litt +7 more
A search for RFLPs associated with D2DR identified a frequent two-allele TaqI RFLP that binds to the q22-q23 junction of chromosome 11 and is associated with antipsychotic drugs.
JAMANO Association Between an Allele at the D2 Dopamine Receptor Gene (DRD2) and Alcoholism
299 Citations1991Joel Gelernter
The data do not support an allelic association between the A1 allele at DRD2 and alcoholism, and allele frequencies in both groups agreed closely with those observed in most previously described control populations.
JAMAPopulation and Pedigree Studies Reveal a Lack of Association Between the Dopamine D2 Receptor Gene and Alcoholism
279 Citations1990A. M. Bolos
This study does not support a widespread or consistent association between the D2 receptor gene and alcoholism.

254 Citations1991Abbas Parsian
There was no evidence of linkage or cosegregation of the A1 allele and increased susceptibility to alcoholism in informative pedigrees, and the possible association in the general population without linkage in families may be explained by chance variation in small samples or a modifying effect of theA1 allele that increases severity.

243 Citations1980Remi J. Cadoret
The findings suggest the importance of a genetic factor in alcoholism and are in accord with previous work that failed to show an independent effect of an alcoholic environment in development of adoptee alcoholism.

The gene encoding the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) has been suggested as a candidate gene for several mental disorders and the TaqI RFLPs are in apparent linkage equilibrium with the microsatellite, yielding a highly informative compound marker locus with a PIC of 0.76.

130 Citations1991C. Robert Cloninger
There has been intense interest in replicating the 1990 report in JAMA that the minor allele of DRD2 (the D 2 dopamine receptor gene on human chromosome 11 at q22-q23) may increase susceptibility to severe alcoholism in some cases.

The results indicate that ethanol preferring rats have a genetic high sensitivity to the ethanol effect on DA metabolism, and suggest that such a trait might play a role in ethanol preference.

Although type 2 alcoholism is more frequent in men, their female siblings show an abnormally high prevalence of somatization disorder, and the risk of type 1 alcoholism to siblings increased as a function of both biological family history and adoptive environment in the Swedish adoption study.
