Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS): molecular neurogenetic evidence for predisposition to Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS).

Molecular neurobiology - 1 Dec 2014

Blum Kenneth, Oscar-Berman Marlene, Demetrovics Zsolt, Barh Debmalya, Gold Mark S

Abstract excerpt

We have published extensively on the neurogenetics of brain reward systems with reference to the genes related to dopaminergic function in particular. In 1996, we coined "Reward Deficiency Syndrome" (RDS), to portray behaviors found to have gene-based association with hypodopaminergic function. RDS as a useful concept has been embraced in many subsequent studies, to increase our understanding of Substance Use...
