Abstract excerpt
Classical genetic studies suggest strong complex genetic contributions to a predisposition to abuse multiple addictive substances. Until recently, there were no reproducible genome scanning data identifying chromosomal positions likely to contain allelic variants that predispose the carrier to illegal substance addiction. Nominal results of linkage-based genome scanning studies for ethanol and nicotine addictions...
