Age varying polygenic effects on alcohol use in African Americans and European Americans from adolescence to adulthood

Abstract Genetic effects on alcohol use can vary over time but are often examined using longitudinal models that predict a distal outcome at a single time point. The vast majority of these studies predominately examine effects using White, European American (EA) samples or examine the etiology of ge...
