	Alcoholism: Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders
		Alcoholism is thought to be a polygenic disorder; that is, more than one gene appears to be involved in its transmission.
		Because alcoholism is a polygenic disorder, and because genes often change their levels of activity in response to the effects of alcohol, microarrays allow researchers to track the activity levels of a large number of genes simultaneously.
		As of 2001, it is thought that changes in gene function may be a factor in the human brain's long-term adaptations to heavy drinking.

		The brains of people with Down syndrome age prematurely, so that those who develop early-onset AD are often only in their late 40s or early 50s when the symptoms of the disease first appear.
		Genetic research indicates that late-onset Alzheimer's disease is a polygenic disorder; that is, its development is influenced by more than one gene.
		It has been known since 1993 that a specific form of a gene for apolipoprotein E (apoE4) on human chromosome 19 is a genetic risk factor for late-onset AD.
