The #genetics that contribute to quantity of #alcohol consumed only partially overlaps with the genetics that contribute to alcohol use disorder (#addiction). Similar for #cannabis. @PGCgenetics Substance Use Disorder group.
A #GWAS of a common #genetic vulnerability factor that underlies several substance use disorders (#addictions) identified 19 independent risk loci, many related to #dopaminergic signaling & regulation (@AlexanderHatoum, Nature Mental Health, in press; bit.ly/3VzzFtd) 2/2
Substance use disorders (SUDs, #addiction) are defined by problems caused by misuse of a drug, i.e. #alcohol use disorder by problems caused by misuse of alcohol. There is a lot of comorbidity among SUDs. Current #genetic findings reviewed: bit.ly/3wlTiLN (1/10)
A GWAS of the factors showed some #genes associated with consumption and others with problems. bit.ly/3NcfsWr (4/4)
