Addiction by Any Other Name is Still Addiction: Embracing Molecular Neurogenetic/Epigenetic Basis of Reward Deficiency

Abstract

The Human Genome Project and the database it created established a plausible observatory, so to speak, for scientists to identify the etiology of genetic variants and their expression. It is well-known that “Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms” (SNPs) which involve the cumulative presence of nucleic acids in sufficient volume and proximity along the DNA strands to create novel
