Research: Genes play role in friendship

The researchers looked at six genetic markers in two long-running US studies, the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and the Framingham Heart Study, which contain both genetic data and information on friends.

With one gene, called DRD2, which has been associated with alcoholism, they found clusters of friends with the very same marker.
