Scientists have the genes identified for drug dependence

Chinese scientists have 400 genes that make some people more susceptible to addiction, as well as opening up new possibilities for the treatment and management of addiction to drugs identified, according to Reuters. Based on estimates of genetic factors, the researchers concluded that about 60% of people have a tendency to drugs. The researchers focused their attention on the four drugs: cocaine, opiates, alcohol and nicotine, the display of the five pillars or molecular "chain" that people use on the slope, they. Calculation of the molecular chains is important for the investigation of serious diseases. In diseases such as cancer, so you can put a more accurate diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Those examined more than 1,000 have passed a review of medical publications related to genes and chromosomes in the field of drug addiction in the past 30 years, scientists have found that some genes were more frequently than others in the molecular chain and the list free 1500-350 zavisimot genes reduced. Scientists believe that the study of the molecular chains and the corresponding genes is an important step in the development of an effective treatment of a wide range of people with drug dependence.
