Genetic data linked FGF21 signalling to lower problematic alcohol use and ARLD risk. Learn how this liver–brain pathway may reshape treatment.

The primary function of ADH1C is ethanol oxidation. A common polymorphism of this gene is associated with a slower rate of oxidation and may increase exposure to ethanol. Therefore, we hypothesized ...
