Alcoholism and heavy smoking are highly comorbid and are cotransmitted in the general U.S. population; however little is known about comorbidity in American Indians. The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) functional polymorphism, Val158Met, has been associated with alcoholism in Caucasians. The aims of our study were firstly to investigate patterns of alcohol and tobacco consumption and comorbidity between alcoholism and smoking in Plains American Indians and secondly to determine the influence, including sexual dimorphic effects, of COMT Val158Met and COMT haplotypes, on these behaviors.
