Alcoholism seems to have its roots at least partly in the genes. How genetic factors contribute to alcohol abuse is still an important question to be solved. There are hints that the body produces an opiate-active compound that may enhance alcohol addiction. New studies at the University of Bonn suggest that a gene is at least partly responsible... view more... (2001-04-18)

New ways to predict violent behavior?
In the future, diagnosing severe personality disorders, evaluating the childhood environment, assessing alcohol consumption and the analysis of the MAOA genotype may provide more accurate means for assessing risk among violent offenders, according to the Finnish research carried out jointly at the University of Helsinki and the Helsinki University... view more...
