Table III.

Candidate addiction-related CAMs. Genes listed both a) encode “likely” bona fide human cell adhesion molecules and b) are identified by at least 3 independent case vs control GWAS studies of addiction-related phenotypes by clusters of SNPs with 10−2 > p >10−8. Genes are arranged by the number of addiction-related case-control sample pairs in which they are identified, then alphabetical order.
