Newest firstCannabis is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world, and use is trending alarmingly higher. We aimed to examine the genetic basis of cannabis lifetime use (CanLU) and its genetic relationships with a variety of psychiatric- and physical health-related phenotypes. We conducted a multi-ancestral genome-wide association study (GWAS) of CanLU using data from All of Us in five genetic populations. We meta-anal…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Illicit drug use may lead to dependence on those drugs, is associated with various psychiatric disorders, and can have hazardous, sometimes life-threatening, consequences. We investigated the genetic architecture underlying the lifetime use (LU) of several drugs, individually and in combination. Methods We conducted genome-wide association studies of LU of cocaine, methamphetamine, inhalants, illegal op…
Open article record in new tab ↗As recreational use of cannabis is being decriminalized in many places and medical use widely sanctioned, there are growing concerns about increases in cannabis use disorder (CanUD), which is associated with numerous medical comorbidities. Here we performed a genome-wide association study of CanUD in the Million Veteran Program (MVP), followed by meta-analysis in 1,054,365 individuals (ncases = 64,314) from four b…
Open article record in new tab ↗Despite the large toll of opioid use disorder (OUD), genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of OUD to date have yielded few susceptibility loci. We performed a large-scale GWAS of OUD in individuals of European (EUR) and African (AFR) ancestry, optimizing genetic informativeness by performing MTAG (Multi-trait analysis of GWAS) with genetically correlated substance use disorders (SUDs). Meta-analysis included seve…
