Genetics of Opioid Addiction

Episode 104 The opioid epidemic has had a major impact in the US, among other countries. In 2017 more than 47,000 Americans died of opioid overdose. And currently, everyday in the US 130 people die from opioid overdoses. To shed light on this epidemic scientists from the Camden Opioid Research Initiative share their project with a focus on the genetics of opioid addiction susceptibility. The Camden Opioid Research Initiative has a three pronged approach as outlined below. To learn more about the Camden Opioid Research Initiative (CORI) head over to CORINJ.org. For additional information about genetics of opioid dependence, check out this paper. 1) A biobank for blood and brain samples taken from people who have died from overdose as well as family members who are interested in donating. 2) A prospective clinical study of chronic pain patients to determine the interplay between genetic and biological risk factors for opioid addiction. 3) A clinical study of people currently being treated for opioid addiction to investigate what treatments work best for different genetic makeups. In this episode, we discuss… Types of genetic testing for opioid susceptibility Non-genetic factors to opioid dependence Brain biobank of opioid user tissues Brain differences of opioid users Potential uses of opioid genetic research For more information about this episode, check out our blog post here: http://dnapodcast.com/episodes/2019/6...
