Discovery of these genes/variants, while extremely valuable, is only the first step in understanding the molecular processes that influence SUDs. This announcement encourages basic functional genetic and genomic research in two areas: (1) functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants/epigenetic/non-coding RNA features have an authentic role in SUDs and (2) detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways and processes modulated by candidate genes/variants, particularly for those genes with an unanticipated role in SUDs.
