TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Association and linkage between alcoholism and eleven serological markers JO - Journal of studies on alcohol A1 - Hill, S. Y. A1 - Goodwin, D. W. A1 - Cadoret, R. A1 - Osterland, C. K. A1 - Doner, S. M. SP - 981 EP - 992 VL - 36 IS - 7 N2 - Sera from alcoholics and their nonalcoholic first-degree relatives were analyzed for 11 serological markers. A lower prevalence of the S antigen in the nonalcoholic relatives and linkage in repulsion between the D gene of the Rh system and alcoholism were found. All the alcoholics and the relatives had an SS phenotype, when analyzed for complement C3, compared with a prevalence rate of about 50% in other studies. The first two associations involve blood groups, the latter a serum protein.
