Diagnostic and prognostic methylation biomarkers for alcohol and related health risks
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Alcohol addiction is the third leading lifestyle-related cause of death in the U.S. and is often comorbid with other serious medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis of the liver and cancer. The goal of this proposal is to develop methylation biomarkers for alcohol addiction and related health risks.
