Reviewer 2 Report

 

The paper reviews the genome-wide association studies conducted in the past 10 years in samples with patients with Alcohol Use Disorders and mood or anxiety disorders.

The authors followed the PRISMA guidelines, and searched (by means of inclusion and exclusion criteria, and certain key words) in several databases.

14 studies were included, and the results support a significant overlap of genetic factors involved in AUD and mood and anxiety disorders.

In the end the authors discuss these results and give some ideas to future research.

The introduction is carefully written and includes relevant and recent literature.

The methods are very well structured and detailed.

No suggestions should be reported.
