<h4>Aims</h4>To understand the role of ancestral genomic background in substance dependence (SD) genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we analyzed population diversity at genetic loci associated with SD traits and evaluated its effect on GWAS outcomes.<h4>Materials & methods</h4>We investigated 24 genes with variants associated with SD by GWAS; and 82 loci with putative subordinate roles with respect to SD-associated genes.<h4>Results</h4>We observed high ancestry-related frequency differences ...[more]
