HONG KONG (Reuters) - Scientists in China have identified about 400 genes that appear to make some people more easily addicted to *****, opening the way for more effective therapies and addiction control.
Experts believe genetic factors account for up to 60 percent of a person's vulnerability to **** addiction, with environmental factors accounting for the remainder.
The researchers focused on four addictive substances -- *******, opiate, ******* and nicotine -- and mapped out five main routes, or "molecular pathways," that lead to addiction, they wrote in the journal PLoS Computational Biology.
