Genome wide association for addiction: replicated results and comparisons of two analytic approaches.

<h4>Background</h4>Vulnerabilities to dependence on addictive substances are substantially heritable complex disorders whose underlying genetic architecture is likely to be polygenic, with modest contributions from variants in many individual genes. "Nontemplate" genome wide as...
