Alcoholic Intoxication, Chronic
CUI: C0001973
Disease: Alcoholic Intoxication, Chronic
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE Although C-allele carriers have been shown to have an increased risk for alcohol dependence, in our dependent sample, greater stimulation was found among T-allele homozygotes, suggesting that the influence of SR on developing and maintaining dependence differs based on rs279858 genotype.This study demonstrates an indirect effect of rs279858 genotype on drinking through SR. 27117237 2016

0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE Greater stimulatory and euphoric effects of alcohol in carriers of the rs279858 C allele may, in part, explain the previously reported association of this allele with AD. 24166645 2014
Alcoholic Intoxication, Chronic
CUI: C0001973
Disease: Alcoholic Intoxication, Chronic
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE We used linear mixed models to examine the effects of dutasteride and alcohol on BAES and SS responses and the interaction of dutasteride with the GABRA2 alcohol dependence-associated polymorphism rs279858. 24557088 2014
Alcoholic Intoxication, Chronic
CUI: C0001973
Disease: Alcoholic Intoxication, Chronic
0.050 GeneticVariation BEFREE In a sample of 173 families (449 subjects), 129 of whom had at least one member diagnosed with alcohol dependence or abuse, carriers for the G allele in two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes were more likely to have alcohol dependence symptoms (rs279858, P=0.01; rs279826, P=0.05; haplotype, P=0.02) and higher NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R) Impulsiveness scores (rs279858, P=0.016; rs279826, P=0.012; haplotype, P=0.032) with a stronger effect in women (rs279858, P=0.011; rs279826, P=0.002; haplotype, P=0.006), all P-values are corrected for family history and age. 21483437 2012
Heroin Dependence
CUI: C0019337
Disease: Heroin Dependence
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE The role of the reward network connections that mediates the effects of rs279858 on cognition would be disrupted by heroin addiction. 30061709 2018
Alcohol Use Disorder
CUI: C0001956
Disease: Alcohol Use Disorder
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE For the BAES stimulation subscale scores, adjusting for age, baseline scores, and time effects, individuals with 2 copies of the GABRA2 rs279858 C "risk" allele for AUD exhibited the greatest stimulant responses to high-dose alcohol compared to the other risk allele counts (dose-by-allele count interaction effect, p = 0.001, post hoc contrast for C-allele, p = 0.012). 29131352 2017
Alcohol or Other Drugs use
CUI: C0237123
Disease: Alcohol or Other Drugs use
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE Polymorphisms across serotonergic (SLC6A4, 5-HTTLPR), dopaminergic (DRD4, u-VNTR), noradrenergic (SLC6A2, rs36021), and GABAergic (GABRA2, rs279858; GABRA6, rs3811995) genes were examined given prior support for associations with temperament, externalizing behavior, and substance use problems. 26845260 2016
Abnormal behavior
CUI: C0233514
Disease: Abnormal behavior
0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE We had several objectives: (a) to determine whether GABRA2 (rs279827, rs279826, rs279858) moderates the relationship between a component of parental monitoring, parental knowledge, and externalizing trajectories; (b) to test the form of this interaction to assess whether GABRA2 variants reflect risk (diathesis-stress) or susceptibility (differential susceptibility) factors; and (c) to clarify GABRA2 associations on the development of problem behavior. 25797587 2016
