Abstract Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a major public health crisis. The specific genes mediating CUD remain largely unknown. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using outbred N/NIH Heterogeneous Stock (HS; n = 836, female = 415, male = 421) rats. We examined CUD-related phenotypes including acquisition of self-administration, escalation of intake, and compulsive-like responding. These traits were phenotypically correlated and exhibited modest SNP heritability (h2 = 0.07 – 0.16).

Abstract Family and twin studies indicate that 20–60% of the vulnerability to opioid use disorder (OUD) is influenced by genetic factors, but the specific genes driving addiction-like behaviors, including sensitivity to opioid analgesia, tolerance, dependence, and escalation of oxycodone self-administration, remain unidentified, limiting precision medicine approaches.

Abstract Alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains a pervasive public health issue with limited effective treatments. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychotropic constituent of cannabis, shows promise in modulating addictive behaviors.
