Researcher at Bayer University claims to have discovered certain gene that modulates stress responses, which could cause some people to take drugs and consume alcohol.
Dr. Doug Matthews, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor, has found a small section on chromosome one that is responsive to a particular type of stress in animal models.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Could Be in the Genes
Post-traumatic stress disorder could be in the genes, it has been found.

"This study gives us insight into a common genetic pathway for stress that might be critical in modulating drug taking behavior, especially alcohol consumption since many people report drinking alcohol to reduce stress," said Matthews.
"It also gave us some ideas on where to look in the brain for drug taking behavior and it provided a method to do so," he added.
Scientists Identify Gene That Provides Plants Stress Resistance

He said that this sophisticated genetic manipulation allowed them to target specific chromosomes so they could get a much more powerful genetic answer.
