Researchers at Yale University have identified new genes involved in alcohol-related problems through a study.

For 2017, 23.6% of 18-75 year-olds exceeded the consumption benchmarks in 2017 according to figures from Public Health France. A study, published on May 25 in the journal Nature Neuroscience, was interested in the genome analysis of more than 435,000 people. These data are contained in four biobanks. Researchers from the Yale University School of Medicine (United States) have thus identified 29 genetic variants linked to problematic alcohol consumption. “Data-reactid =” 24 “> In France, 26% of 65-75 year-olds report Daily alcohol consumption.
