Abstract excerpt
Family, adoption and twin data each support substantial heritability for addictions. Most of this heritable influence is not substance-specific. The overlapping genetic vulnerability for developing dependence on a variety of addictive substances suggests large roles for "higher order" pharamacogenomics in addiction molecular genetics. We and others have now completed genome-wide association (GWA) studies of DNAs...
