Abstract Background In the United States, ~50% of individuals who meet criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD) during their lifetimes do not remit. We previously reported that a polygenic score AUD (PGS ) was positively associated with severity as measured by DSM‐5 lifetime criterion count, and negatively remission. Thus, we hypothesized PGS would be Methods Individuals European (EA) African ancestry (AA) from Collaborative Study on Genetics Alcoholism (COGA) met AUD, two EA cohorts ascertained studies liver diseases substance disorders Indiana Biobank were included. COGA, 12‐month remission defined any period ≥12 consecutive months without meeting except craving further categorized abstinent non‐abstinent .

Results EA, ( p ≤ 0.013, β s between −0.15 −0.10) after adjusting all contrast to findings, = 0.004, 0.28) in cohort but 0.17, 0.15). Conclusions independent behavioral measures The discrepant results reflect different ascertainment strategies: participants older had higher rates disease, suggesting these remitted due alcohol‐related health conditions manifested later life.
