Mission Statement:
Directed by David Goldman, M.D., generates the clinical dataset collections and collaborations, and encompasses the DNA/Data core, ongoing human research protocols (COMBINE, Ten Tribes Study, Alaska Native Alcohol treatment pharmacogenetics), large scale SNP detection and genotyping, in vitro and in vivo functional analyses of receptor variants, and linkage studies of markers and candidate alleles.

(Clinical Staff Scientist) leads population and family studies on the role of intermediate phenotypes in alcoholism. A focus of her work is electrophysiological intermediate phenotypes, particularly the low voltage alpha resting EEG trait (LVA), which she showed is more abundant in alcoholics with anxiety disorders. Psychiatric phenotype/electrophysiologic phenotype datasets Dr. Enoch developed, or for which she led electrophysiology studies, are Bethesda Caucasians, Plains Indians, and Southeastern American Indians. Dr. Enoch has studied the genetics of anxious temperament and clinical anxiety related phenotypes including OCD, Anorexia Nervosa and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Her gene findings, reported in numerous papers, include potential relationships of these phenotypes to the HTR2A gene and sex-influenced linkage of COMT Met158/Met158 to anxiety and to LVA. Recent findings include associations between GABRA2 haplotypes and alcoholism, mediated by anxiety. Dr. Enoch serves on the NIAAA IRB and is the NIAAA Women Scientists Advisor.

Joined LNG in 2003 and was appointed Staff Scientist in 2004, having previously directed a research lab located at King Faisal Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he mapped monogenic neurologic diseases. He joined LNG to transition to complex disease genetics, and to lead the DNA/Data core. He is extraordinarily qualified for that role because of broad knowledge in genetics and direct experience with high throughput sequencing and genotyping, genetic linkage, and functional genetic analyses. Using the high-density haplotype approach in a large case-control dataset, Dr. Hodgkinson replicated and extended linkage of DISC 1 to schizoaffective, and is exploring the relationship of DISC 1 and genes to which it is functionally related in various phenotypes.

A Fogarty Fellow, trained in psychiatry with professors Liliana Dell’Osso and Alessandrom Rotondo (Formerly LNG) in Pisa. Dr. Ducci is interested in behavioral dyscontrol and the role of genotype in refining diagnosis. She studies phenotypes for linkage in LNG datasets most suitable for this purpose. She has constructed large SNPlex-based panels, including panels for serotonin-related genes such as. HTR1B HTR2A, and HTR2C that were previously studied at low marker density or perhaps with one functional marker, cannabinoid genes and other genes.
