Levels of expressed alpha synuclein mRNA in three groups of allele lengths of NACP-REP1.
data("alpha")
A data frame with 97 observations on the following 2 variables.
alengthshort,
intermediate and long.elevelVarious studies have linked alcohol dependence phenotypes to chromosome 4. One candidate gene is NACP (non-amyloid component of plaques), coding for alpha synuclein. B"onsch et al. (2005) found longer alleles of NACP-REP1 in alcohol-dependent patients compared with healthy controls and report that the allele lengths show some association with levels of expressed alpha synuclein mRNA.
