| Abstract | Genetic components significantly contribute to the susceptibilities of alcoholism and its endophenotypes, such as event-related potential measures and electroencephalogram. An endophenotype is a correlated trait which identifies individuals at risk. Correlated traits could be influenced by shared genes. This study is intended to identify chromosome regions that may harbor common genetic loci contributing to alcoholism, event related potential measures and electroencephalogram. All 143 Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism families with 1,614 individuals provided by the Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 were used for the analysis with aldx1 as an alcoholism diagnosis. We carried out factor and principal component analyses on the 12 event-related potentials, then bivariate genome scans on aldx1 and electroencephalogram (ecb21), as well as alcoholism and the principal component scores of the event-related potential measures. A univariate genome scan was also carried out on each trait. Factor and principal component analysis on the event-related potential measures showed that the 4 ttths and 4 ntths belong to one cluster (cluster 1), while the 4 ttdts belonged to another (cluster 2). From each cluster, one principal component was extracted and saved as pc1 (for cluster 1) and pc2 (for cluster 2). The results of genome scans revealed only one chromosome region, chromosome 4 q at about 100 cM, identified by several univariate genome scans including aldx1, ecb21, and pc2, and the evidence of linkage increased significantly in the bivariate genome scans of aldx1 and ecb21 and aldx1 and pc2. Our study suggests that the same quantitative trait locus on the chromosome 4 q region, where ADH3 is located, may influence the risk of alcoholism, variations of electroencephalogram, and the 4 ttdts of the event-related potential measures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
