Genetic variation in FAAH is associated with cannabis use disorders in a young adult sample of Mexican Americans.

Drug and alcohol dependence - 1 Sept 2016

Melroy-Greif Whitney E, Wilhelmsen Kirk C, Ehlers Cindy L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cannabis is a commonly used drug and studies have shown that a significant portion of the variation in cannabis use disorders (CUDs) is heritable. Five genes known to play a role in the endocannabinoid system and CUDs were examined in a community sample of young adult Mexican Americans (MAs): CNR1, MGLL, FAAH, DAGLA, and DAGLB. METHODS: Gene-based tests were run to test for association between each...
