dbSNP: rs279858
rs279858
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE Although C-allele carriers have been shown to have an increased risk for alcohol dependence, in our dependent sample, greater stimulation was found among T-allele homozygotes, suggesting that the influence of SR on developing and maintaining dependence differs based on rs279858 genotype.This study demonstrates an indirect effect of rs279858 genotype on drinking through SR. 27117237

dbSNP: rs279858
rs279858
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE The association of rs279858 with alcohol dependence yielded nominal significance level. 26116794

2015

dbSNP: rs279858
rs279858
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE Greater stimulatory and euphoric effects of alcohol in carriers of the rs279858 C allele may, in part, explain the previously reported association of this allele with AD. 24166645

2014

dbSNP: rs279858
rs279858
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE We used linear mixed models to examine the effects of dutasteride and alcohol on BAES and SS responses and the interaction of dutasteride with the GABRA2 alcohol dependence-associated polymorphism rs279858. 24557088

dbSNP: rs279858
rs279858
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE In a sample of 173 families (449 subjects), 129 of whom had at least one member diagnosed with alcohol dependence or abuse, carriers for the G allele in two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes were more likely to have alcohol dependence symptoms (rs279858, P=0.01; rs279826, P=0.05; haplotype, P=0.02) and higher NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R) Impulsiveness scores (rs279858, P=0.016; rs279826, P=0.012; haplotype, P=0.032) with a stronger effect in women (rs279858, P=0.011; rs279826, P=0.002; haplotype, P=0.006), all P-values are corrected for family history and age. 21483437

dbSNP: rs279871
rs279871
0.040 GeneticVariation BEFREE A SNP variant of rs279871, in the chromosome 4 gene encoding gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABRA2), was selected due to its associations with alcoholism in young adults and with behaviors that increased risk for early drinking. 28847377

2017

dbSNP: rs279871
rs279871
0.040 GeneticVariation BEFREE The current study examined the influence of gender, negative and positive daily life events, and GABRA2 genotype (SNP rs279871) on alcohol dependence, testing two- and three-way interactions between these variables using multi-level regression models fit to data from 2,281 White participants in the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism. 23974430

2013

dbSNP: rs279871
rs279871
0.040 GeneticVariation BEFREE Consistent with previous findings, the results do not support the association between GABRA2 SNP rs279871 and AD in adolescents. 19783384

2010

dbSNP: rs279871
rs279871
0.040 GeneticVariation BEFREE In this study, we stratified subjects who had participated in an fMRI study of alcohol cue responses according to their genotype at a SNP in GABRA2 (rs279871) shown to be associated with alcohol dependence (Edenberg et al., 2004). 20698837

2010

dbSNP: rs9291283
rs9291283
0.020 GeneticVariation BEFREE Genotyping of the 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the GABRA2 gene (rs567926, rs279858 and rs9291283) was performed in patients with alcohol dependence (N=654) and healthy control subjects (N=574). 26116794

2015

dbSNP: rs9291283
rs9291283
0.020 GeneticVariation BEFREE Although the analysis provided nominal support for an association with rs9291283 and AAD in adulthood and CD in adolescence, the current study failed to replicate previous associations between two well replicated GABRA2 SNPs and CD and alcohol dependence. 24687270

2014

dbSNP: rs279826
rs279826
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE In a sample of 173 families (449 subjects), 129 of whom had at least one member diagnosed with alcohol dependence or abuse, carriers for the G allele in two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes were more likely to have alcohol dependence symptoms (rs279858, P=0.01; rs279826, P=0.05; haplotype, P=0.02) and higher NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R) Impulsiveness scores (rs279858, P=0.016; rs279826, P=0.012; haplotype, P=0.032) with a stronger effect in women (rs279858, P=0.011; rs279826, P=0.002; haplotype, P=0.006), all P-values are corrected for family history and age. 21483437
