ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In the United States, ~50% of individuals who meet criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD) during their lifetimes do not remit. We previously reported that a polygenic score for AUD (PGSAUD ) was positively associated with AUD severity as measured by DSM-5 lifetime criterion count, and AUD severity was negatively associated with remission. Thus, we hypothesized that PGSAUD would be negatively associated with remission.METHODS:
Individuals of European (EA) and African ancestry (AA) from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) who met lifetime criteria for AUD, and two EA cohorts ascertained for studies of liver diseases and substance use disorders from the Indiana Biobank were included. In COGA, 12-month remission was defined as any period of ≥12 consecutive months without meeting AUD criteria except craving and was further categorized as abstinent and non-abstinent. In the Indiana Biobank, remission was defined based on ICD codes and could not be further distinguished as abstinent or non-abstinent. Sex and age were included as covariates. COGA analyses included additional adjustment for AUD severity, family history of remission, and AUD treatment history.RESULTS:
In COGA EA, PGSAUD was negatively associated with 12-month and non-abstinent remission (p ≤ 0.013, ßs between -0.15 and -0.10) after adjusting for all covariates. In contrast to the COGA findings, PGSAUD was positively associated with remission (p = 0.004, ß = 0.28) in the Indiana Biobank liver diseases cohort but not in the Indiana Biobank substance use disorder cohort (p = 0.17, ß = 0.15).CONCLUSIONS:
PGSAUD was negatively associated with 12-month and non-abstinent remission in COGA EA, independent of behavioral measures of AUD severity and family history of remission. The discrepant results in COGA and the Indiana Biobank could reflect different ascertainment strategies the Indiana Biobank participants were older and had higher rates of liver disease, suggesting that these individuals remitted due to alcohol-related health conditions that manifested in later life.
