Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor, gamma 1, also known as GABRG1, is a human gene.[1] The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the GABAA receptor.[2] Variants of this gene may be associated with alcohol dependence.[3] [edit] References - ^ Wilcox AS, Warrington JA, Gardiner K, Berger R, Whiting P, Altherr MR, Wasmuth JJ, Patterson D, Sikela JM (July 1992).
