Referencing to the annotation of the OMIM Morbid Map (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim), we found that AASS, TAS2R16 and TSPAN12 are previously identified to be disease-related and associated with “hyperlysinemia”, “alcohol dependence” and “exudative vitreoretinopathy”, respectively. Here, TSPAN12 is linked to alcohol dependence.
