4 maj 2022 · Collectively, genetic studies are providing persuasive evidence that there is underlying genetic liability that predisposes to both SUDs and chronic pain, depression, and COVID-19. For cardiometabolic disease, there is greater support for a potential causal influence of problematic substance use.
The researchers discovered a strong genetic correlation between problematic alcohol use and 138 other conditions, including substance abuse disorders, depression, and schizophrenia. “AUD has many variants across the genome that are involved in the predisposition of this trait, but these variants are not only predisposing to AUD, they are ...
Briefly, findings from twin and family studies suggest common genetic factors shared amongst substance use (r g = 0.14–0.31 for alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis), with stronger estimates of shared genetic overlap amongst measures of problem use (r g = 0.56–0.62; Young, Rhee, Stallings, Corley, & Hewitt, 2006).
23 wrz 2016 · Spice is not a single drug, but a range of laboratory-made chemicals that mimic the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive component of cannabis.
22 mar 2023 · Breakthrough findings could lead to more effective prevention and treatment strategies for multiple substance use disorders. By combing through genomic data of over 1 million people, scientists have identified genes commonly inherited across addiction disorders, regardless of the substance being used. This dataset – one of the largest of its ...
5 wrz 2023 · Parents of a Spice addict will have trouble finding drugs amongst their kid’s possessions because Spice looks like a bunch of dried herbs and is packaged as such. Around 80% of patients seeking emergency treatment for Spice are male.
18 kwi 2024 · In this post, I provide an overview of key research on the genetic inheritance of substance use disorders such as alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and cannabis/marijuana use...
