Alcohol Dependence (AD) shows evidence for genetic liability, but genes influencing risk remain largely unidentified. We conducted a genomewide association study in 706 related AD cases and 1748 unscreened population controls from Ireland. We sought replication in 15,496 samples of European descent. We used model organisms to assess the role of orthologous genes in ethanol response behaviors. We tested one primate-specific gene for expression differences in case/control post-mortem brain tissue. We detected significant association in COL6A3 and suggestive association in two previously implicated loci, KLF12 and RYR3. None of these signals are significant in replication. A suggestive signal in the long noncoding RNA LOC339975 is significant in case:control meta-analysis, but not in a population sample. Knockdown of a COL6A3 ortholog in C. elegans reduced ethanol sensitivity. Col6a3 expression correlated with handling-induced convulsions in mice. Loss of function of the KLF12 ortholog in C. elegans impaired development of acute functional tolerance. Klf12 expression correlated with locomotor activation following ethanol injection in mice. Loss of function of the RYR3 ortholog reduced ethanol sensitivity in C. elegans and rapid tolerance in Drosophila. The ryanodine receptor antagonist dantrolene reduced motivation to self-administer ethanol in rats. Expression of LOC339975 does not differ between cases and controls but is reduced in carriers of the associated rs11726136 allele in nucleus accumbens. We detect association between AD and COL6A3, KLF12, RYR3 and LOC339975. Despite non-replication of COL6A3, KLF12 and RYR3 signals, orthologs of these genes influence behavioral response to ethanol in model organisms, suggesting potential involvement in human ethanol response and AD liability. The associated LOC339975 allele may influence gene expression in human nucleus accumbens. Although the functions of long noncoding RNAs are poorly understood, there is mounting evidence implicating these genes in multiple brain functions and disorders.
