This positive correlation was replicated in the total cohort of 229 individuals (including depressed patients, with alcohol dependence as exclusion criterion) for GGT (rho = 0.188, p = 0.004), ALT (rho = 0.218, p = 0.0009), and AST (rho = 0.168, p = 0.011), with no interfering age-effect (rho = 0.047, p = 0.479), as opposed to the previous data. This evidence concerns the gene GPT and alcohol dependence.
