This website discusses research on genetic vulnerability to addiction. However, I have yet to find ANY information (most likely because it doesn’t exist yet) that can point to one gene that is the cause of addiction. The human genome project hasn’t quite gotten there yet.
However, in my own personal opinion, I don’t think that you will find ONE gene that is responsible for addiction. Addiction is biological, but not genetic. What you’ll find are sets of genes that can lead to different functioning of the human brain (particularly the pleasure center), which increases the propensity to use substances. Then, certain individuals’ environments plays a role in whether or not the person actually becomes addicted. (In other words, your genetics make you vulnerable, your biology makes you desire substances, and your environment reinforces you to begin using).
As you’ll find, no psychological disorder can be explained by only one factor, so the hopes of identifying one gene solely responsible for anything is highly unlikely.
