Earlier work from our laboratory, showing anti-addiction activity of a
nutraceutical consisting of amino-acid precursors and enkephalinase inhibition
properties and our discovery of the first polymorphic gene (Dopamine D2 Receptor
Gene [DRD2]) to associate with severe alcoholism serves as a blue-print for the
development of "Personalized Medicine" in addiction. Prior to the later genetic
finding, we developed the concept of Brain Reward Cascade, which continues to act
as an important component for stratification of addiction risk through
neurogenetics. In 1996 our laboratory also coined the term "Reward Deficiency
Syndrome (RDS)" to define a common genetic rubric for both substance and
non-substance related addictive behaviors. Following many reiterations we
utilized polymorphic targets of a number of reward genes (serotonergic,
Opioidergic, GABAergic and Dopaminergic) to customize KB220 [Neuroadaptogen-
amino-acid therapy (NAAT)] by specific algorithms. Identifying 1,000 obese
subjects in the Netherlands a subsequent small subset was administered various
KB220Z formulae customized according to respective DNA polymorphisms
individualized that translated to significant decreases in both Body Mass Index
(BMI) and weight in pounds. Following these experiments, we have been
successfully developing a panel of genes known as "Genetic Addiction Risk Score"
(GARSp(DX))?. Selection of 10 genes with appropriate variants, a statistically
significant association between the ASI-Media Version-alcohol and drug severity
scores and GARSp(Dx) was found A variant of KB220Z in abstinent heroin addicts
increased resting state functional connectivity in a putative network including:
dorsal anterior cingulate, medial frontal gyrus, nucleus accumbens, posterior
cingulate, occipital cortical areas, and cerebellum. In addition, we show that
KB220Z significantly activates, above placebo, seed regions of interest including
the left nucleus accumbens, cingulate gyrus, anterior thalamic nuclei,
hippocampus, pre-limbic and infra-limbic loci. KB220Z demonstrates significant
functional connectivity, increased brain volume recruitment and enhanced
dopaminergic functionality across the brain reward circuitry. We propose a Reward
Deficiency System Solution that promotes early identification and stratification
of risk alleles by utilizing GARS(Dx), allowing for customized nutrigenomic
targeting of these risk alleles by altering KB220Z ingredients as an algorithmic
function of carrying these polymorphic DNA-SNPS, potentially yielding the first
ever nutrigenomic solution for addiction and pain.
