Event‐related Potentials as Markers for Alcoholism Risk in High Density Families

Event‐related Potentials as Markers for Alcoholism Risk in High Density Families One hundred sixty‐eight adult siblings and parents from affected and control families were tested for ERP characteristics using two tasks involving an auditory oddball paradigm.

Abstract

One hundred sixty‐eight adult siblings and parents from affected and control families were tested for ERP characteristics using two tasks involving an auditory oddball paradigm. Significant within family differences among affected families suggest that risk for developing alcoholism may be seen even in adult subjects who have had experience consuming alcohol. Further, analysis of quantity and recency of drinking in the past seven days were not correlated with either amplitude or latency of Pa, suggesting that the within‐family differences observed reflect relative risk for developing alcoholism rather than experience with alcohol.
