SLC6A3 gene methylation may be associated with alcohol use disorder, but personality and life stress may not influence methylation
The methylation of the SLC6A3 gene may be marginally associated with AUD; however, the rs27072 genotype, personality, and life stress may not be directly linked to epigenetic modifications. Cross-sectional epigenetic studies may not establish causality; future studies with larger, more diverse cohorts and longitudinal designs are warranted to elucidate the complex interplay in AUD pathophysiology.
