Principal applicant name: 
Ms Luisa Zuccolo (University of Bristol, UK)
Co-applicants: 
Dr Nic Timpson (University of Bristol, UK), Prof Marcus Munafo (University of Bristol, UK)
Title of project: 
Genetic variation and alcohol use - contribution to GSCAN (GWAS & Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use).
Proposal summary: 

AIMS:

We will analyse the association between various dimensions of alcohol use in YPs and mothers and common genetic variation (GWAS, available for most YPs and mothers) and more rare genetic variation (based on GWAS data imputed to a novel imputation panel based on sequencing data, therefore available for most YPs and mothers, as well as on a subsample of the cohort with UK10K sequencing data).
