List of positional candidate genes after correcting for multiple testing and controlling the false discovery rate from genome wide association studies (GWAS) retrieved from the NHGRI-EBI Catalog of published genome-wide association studies (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/). The disease/trait examined in this study, as reported by the authors, was Platelet count. The EFO term platelet count was annotated to this set after curation by NHGRI-EBI. Intergenic SNPS were mapped to both the upstream and downstream gene. P-value uploaded. This gene set was generated using gwas2gs v. 0.1.8 and the GWAS Catalog v. 1.0.1.

Activation of the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway by acute ethanol produces reinforcement and changes in gene expression that appear to be crucial to the molecular basis for adaptive behaviors and addiction. The inbred mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J exhibit contrasting acute behavioral responses to ethanol. We used oligonucleotide microarrays and bioinformatics methods to characterize patterns of gene expression in three brain regions of the mesolimbic reward pathway of these strains. Expression profiling included examination of both differences in gene expression 4 h after saline injection or acute ethanol (2 g/kg). Using a rigorous stepwise method for microarray analysis, we identified 788 genes differentially expressed in control DBA/2J versus C57BL/6J mice and 307 ethanol-regulated genes in the nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, and ventral tegmental area. There were strikingly divergent patterns of ethanol-responsive gene expression in the two strains. Ethanol-responsive genes also showed clustering at discrete chromosomal regions, suggesting local chromatin effects in regulation. Ethanol-regulated genes were generally related to neuroplasticity, but regulation of discrete functional groups and pathways was brain region specific: glucocorticoid signaling, neurogenesis, and myelination in the prefrontal cortex; neuropeptide signaling and developmental genes, including factor Bdnf, in the nucleus accumbens; and retinoic acid signaling in the ventral tegmental area. Bioinformatics analysis identified several potential candidate genes for quantitative trait loci linked to ethanol behaviors, further supporting a role for expression profiling in identifying genes for complex traits. Brain region-specific changes in signaling and neuronal plasticity may be critical components in development of lasting ethanol behavioral phenotypes such as dependence, sensitization, and craving.

This gene set comprises 399 genes that are differentially expressed within each of five brain regions (amygdale, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex and ventral tegmental area) when chronic nicotine treatment is administered to C3H/HeJ mice only. Background: Studies involving use of chronic nicotine treatment identify unique nicotine addiction genes and the biological processes they control in B6 and C3 mice. Results are obtained using gene expression profiling and gene ontology.

The nuclear accumbens (NA) and amygdale (Amyg) of inbred alcohol-preferring mice were examined for differential gene expression and it findings suggest that changes in gene expression in the ACB of iP rats are associated with the reinforcing effects of ethanol (EtOH). This gene set comprises 201 genes that were significantly expressed in the NA during the experiment.
A list of the 307 genes found to be upregulated or downregulated by ethanol in PFC, VTA or NA of B6 or D2 mice. ID number represents cluster membership from Figure 4.

Differentially expressed in the Nucleus accumbens following 24 hr continuous 9.5g/kg/day alcohol drinking vs. water drinking in alcohol preferring rats. Estimated BAC in the alcohol exposed group was > 85mg%. The 406 significanlty different probe sets represent 374 uniquely named genes, with most gene expression differences in the range of 1.1-1.3 fold.
A list of genes whose transcript abundance in the PFC changed significantly 4 hours after an acute dose of ethanol (1.8 g/kg). This list was generated using Fisher's Combined Probability test to analyze saline vs ethanol S-scores across B6 and D2 inbred strains (n=3) and 27 BXD RI lines (n=1). Statistical significance was determined using 1,000 permutations of S-score data and selecting for probe-sets with q-values < 0.05. Aaron Wolen 5-26-10.
