Multiple avenues for identification of gene targets in addictions (top), in human and in animal models, have been taken by multilevel studies (center), leading to the discovery of functional alleles. The genes and loci listed in the table are examples of mechanistic domains in which functional vulnerability alleles have been identified. GWAS, genome-wide association studies; mRNA, messenger RNA; QTLs, quantitative trait loci.
