Much of genetic risk for SUDs shared with ADHD, other disorders

Research that takes a multivariate approach to examining the genetic influences on substance use disorders (SUDs) could ultimately help to identify a much broader population at risk of developing an addiction. A newly published analysis has found that genetic risk for SUDs shares pathways in common with other disorders marked by behavioral disinhibition, including attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder.
