Genome-Wide Association for Methamphetamine Dependence

Context:Wecanimproveunderstandingofhumanmethamphetamine dependence, and possibly our abilities to prevent and treat this devastating disorder, by identifying genes whose allelic variants predispose to methamphetamine dependence. Objective: To find “methamphetamine dependence” genes identified by each of 2 genome-wide association (GWA) studies of independent samples of methamphetamine-dependent individuals and matched controls.
