Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Methylome-wide association (MWAS) studies present a new way to advance the search for biological correlates for alcohol use. A challenge with methylation studies of alcohol involves the causal direction of significant methylation-alcohol associations. One way to address this issue is to combine MWAS data with genomewide association study (GWAS) data.
