简要总结

This is a Cross-Sectional Observational Case-Control Study aims to analyze and compare DNA methylation changes in the key genes associated with alcohol dependence between individuals with alcohol dependence and healthy controls and to identify dysregulated pathways associated with chronic alcohol consumption, thereby suggesting the development of potential biomarkers for treating and preventing alcohol dependence. Recruitment will begin from March 20 2025 after getting the CTRI reference number.
