Overview

A number of the genes involved in behavioral alcohol responses in flies, affecting ethanol sensitivity and/or tolerance, appear to act via actin remodeling. These include aru, Arf51F, ics, and cher. See review by Park et al., 2017 (FBrf0235911) for additional genes in this category.

Disease Summary Information
Parent Disease Summary: alcohol use disorder, susceptibility to (fly models overview)
Symptoms and phenotype

Alcoholism can be defined as persistence of excessive drinking over a long period of time despite adverse health effects and disruption of social relations (Morozova et al., 2014; pubmed:24395673).

The 2013 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) combined the two former categorizations of abnormal alcohol use (alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence) into one diagnosis: alcohol use disorder. The severity of an individual's AUD is broken into classifications: mild, moderate, or severe. "Alcoholism" is a non-medical term often used to describe a severe form of alcohol use disorder. (https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/recovery-blog/alcoholism-alcohol-use-disorder-whats-difference/)

Excessive alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of different types of cancer, higher cardiovascular disease mortality, birth defects, liver diseases, and neuropsychiatric disorders (Morozova et al., 2014; pubmed:24395673).

Alcoholism is a multifactorial, genetically influenced disorder. [from MIM:103780; 2017.12.19]

        Gene Snapshot
        ADP ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) belongs to the Arf family, which are members of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. Arf proteins are involved in the regulation of vesicular trafficking mediating processes such as cargo-sorting, vesicle assembly and membrane fusion. Arf proteins regulate cell shape changes and cell movements in multiple organs. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07]

              cheerio (cher) encodes a dimeric F-actin crosslinking protein of the filamin protein family. It functions to organize the F-actin cytoskeleton in multiple contexts including ovarian germline ring canals, migrating somatic cells, and neuronal growth cones. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07]
