Genetic and environmental predictors of tobacco, drug and alcohol addiction in adolescence and early adulthood: a twin and lifecourse population approach
EF 2009-10
Résumé
This proposal will focus on identifying genetic and environmental influences on the acuquisition and extent of drug additions in youth in twin and longitudinal cohorts. The subjects have been followed over time and surveyed for a variety of potential influences on drug addiction. In addition we will examine many genes (using a genome wide approach) followed by further detailed examination of specific genes of particular relevance to drug addiction in both cohorts. We will also examine the rate of nicotine inactivation (which has previously been associated with many smoking behaviours).
