7 Comorbidity Is there a relationship between childhood ADHD and later drug abuse? See page 2. from the director: Comorbidity is a topic that our stakeholders patients, family members, health care professionals, and others frequently ask about. It is also a topic about which we have insufficient information, so it remains a research priority for NIDA. This Research Report provides information on the state of the science in this area. Although a variety of diseases commonly co-occur with drug abuse and addiction (e.g., HIV, hepatitis C, cancer, cardiovascular disease), this report focuses only on the comorbidity of drug use disorders and other mental illnesses.* To help explain this comorbidity, we need to first recognize that drug addiction is a mental illness. It is a complex brain disease characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable drug craving, seeking, and use despite devastating consequences behaviors that stem from drug-induced changes in brain structure and function. These changes occur in some of the same brain areas that are disrupted in other mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. It is therefore not surprising that population surveys show a high rate of co-occurrence, or comorbidity, between drug addiction and other mental illnesses. While we cannot always prove a connection or causality, we do know that certain mental disorders are established risk factors for subsequent drug abuse and vice versa. It is often difficult to disentangle the overlapping symptoms of drug addiction and other mental illnesses, making diagnosis and treatment complex. Correct diagnosis is critical to ensuring appropriate and effective treatment. Ignorance of or failure to treat a comorbid disorder can jeopardize a patient s chance of recovery. We hope that our enhanced understanding of the common genetic, environmental, and neural bases of these disorders and the dissemination of this information will lead to improved treatments for comorbidity and will diminish the social stigma that makes patients reluctant to seek the treatment they need. Nora D. Volkow, M.D. Director National Institute on Drug Abuse Comorbidity: Addiction and Other Mental Illnesses What Is Comorbidity? W hen two disorders or illnesses occur in the same person, simultaneously or sequentially, they are described as comorbid. Comorbidity also implies interactions between the illnesses that affect the course and prognosis of both. continued inside *Since the focus of this report is on comorbid drug use disorders and other mental illnesses, the terms mental illness and mental disorders will refer here to disorders other than substance use disorders, such as depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and mania. The terms dual diagnosis, mentally ill chemical abuser, and co-occurrence are also used to refer to drug use disorders that are comorbid with other mental illnesses. Dr. Volkow, Director, NIDA: Comorbidity is a topic that our stakeholders patients, family members, health care professionals, and others frequently ask about. It is also a topic about which we have insufficient information, so it remains a research priority for NIDA. Source: Heping Zhang (C 2 S 2, Yale University) MSU 7 / 67

23 Weighted Test A weight function w(z i, Z j ) imposes a relatively large weight when Z i is close to Z j, and a relatively small weight when Z i and Z j are far away Weighted U-statistic: S = Weighted test statistic: ( ) n 1 D ij F ij w(z i, Z j ) 2 i<j χ 2 τ = {S E 0 (S)} Var 1 0 (S){S E 0(S)} Heping Zhang (C 2 S 2, Yale University) MSU 21 / 67
24 Weight Function I: Distance Write Z = (Z co, Z ca ), with Z co for the continuous covariates and Z ca for the categorical covariates For example, w(z i, Z j ; h, q) = W h ( Z co i Z co j )W q {I(Z ca i Z ca j )} W h (u) = exp( u 2 /2h 2 ), h > 0, W q (v) = (1 q)i(v = 0) + qi(v = 1), 0 q 0.5 Weighted U-statistic (called fixed-(h, q) U-statistic): S(h, q) = ( ) n 1 D ij F ij w(z i, Z j ; h, q) 2 i<j Heping Zhang (C 2 S 2, Yale University) MSU 22 / 67
25 Weight Function II: Propensity Score Propensity score: probability of a unit being assigned to a particular treatment given a set of covariates Causal effect analysis: match subjects according to their propensity scores (Rosenbaum and Rubin, 1984) Genomic propensity score: p(z) = {p 1 (z), p 2 (z)}, p c (z) = P(C = c Z = z) Genetic association analysis: match subjects according to their genomic propensity scores Weight function: w(z i, Z j ) = W h { p(z i ) p(z j ) }, with W h (u) = exp( u 2 /2h 2 ), h > 0 Heping Zhang (C 2 S 2, Yale University) MSU 23 / 67

41 Maximum Weighted Test Fixed-(h, q) test: how to choose optimal parameters h and q?

60 Study of Addiction: Genetics and Environment (SAGE) The data were from SAGE (Bierut et al. 2010), a case-control study of mostly unrelated individuals aimed at identifying genetic associations for addiction. We included 4,121 subjects for whom the addiction to the six categories of substances and genomewide SNP data (ILLUMINA Human 1M platform) were available. We defined the outcome as to whether a subject was addicted to substances in at least two of the six addiction categories (nicotine, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, opiates or others).

64 Conclusions: Method Developed a nonparametric weighted test to adjust for covariates that accommodates multiple traits Provided its asymptotic distribution and analytical power calculation Refined the weighted test by proposing the idea of maximum weighting over the grid points of parameters Proposed an asymptotic approach to assess its significance Heping Zhang (C 2 S 2, Yale University) MSU 62 / 67
65 Conclusions: Application WTCCC bipolar disorder data: not only confirmed SNP rs on Chromosome 16 reported by the WTCCC (2007), but also identified two regions (rs on chr 6; rs on chr 17) at the genome-wide significance level The identified haplotype block is near the RPGRIP1L gene that was reported to be associated with bipolar disorder (O Donovan et al., 2008; Riley et al., 2009) COGA data: confirmed and strengthened the top signal; provided evidences for the advantage of maximum weighted test over non-weighted test SAGE data: identified PKNOX2 for addiction, which has been confirmed by other studies Heping Zhang (C 2 S 2, Yale University) MSU 63 / 67
