This issue is featuring original pharmacogenomic research entitled "GENETIC ADDICTION RISK SCORE (GARS) ANALYSIS: EXPLORATORY DEVELOPMENT OF POLYMORPHIC RISK ALLELES IN POLY-DRUG ADDICTED MALES" by Kenneth Blum, PhD, Yijun Liu, PhD, and John Bailey MD, from the Department of Psychiatry, University of Florida Medical College and The McKnight Brain Institute. Other members of the team represent a number of prestigious institutes in the United States and China. The paper explores the development of polymorphic risk alleles of addicted males in residential treatment in poly-drug abusers. This is the first paper to announce the potential utility of a "Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS)" to classify genetic risk for drug abuse prediction, among other addictive behaviors. The importance of this seminal research prompted the editors to publish an original drawing of the "Brain Reward Cascade" Schematic (by Margaret Madigan) on the cover as the journal theme. "The confirmation of these very important results will significantly impact prevention, diagnosis, and personalized treatment of the addict", states John Giordano, MAC, a co-author and an addiction specialist at G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center, North Miami Beach, Florida. Dr. Blum suggests that the utility of this new predictive test will "identify those at risk prior to onset of drug abuse providing early intervention and prevention as well as removing both denial and guilt of the patient". Prof. Blum is a globally recognized figure in addiction field for Neuroadaptagen Amino-Acid Therapy (NAAT) and is considered by many as the "Father of Psychiatric Genetics".

The inaugural volume of The International Journal of Omics and Biotechnology is featuring on the front cover of issue 2 the "Brain Reward Cascade" Schematic (original drawing of Margaret Madigan) as a theme from the original pharmacogenomic research by Kenneth Blum, PhD, Yijun Liu, PhD and John Bailey MD from the Department of Psychiatry University of Florida, Medical College and The McKnight Brain Institute. Other members of the team represent a number of prestigious institutes in the United States and China. The paper explores the development of polymorphic risk alleles of addicted males in residential treatment in poly-drug abusers.

Dr. Blum suggests that the utility of this new predictive test will " identify those at risk prior to onset of drug abuse providing early intervention and prevention as well as removing both denial and guilt of the patient". Dr. Perry the editor-in-chief has touted the paper as "great work" and because of Dr. Blum's reputation in the addiction field Dr. Perry has appointed him as a section editor for the journal.

Dr. Blum and Dr. Waite advocated a non-specific "healthy diet" and non-specific regular exercise to accompany a regimen of taking SynaptoseTM, the nutrigenomic neuroadaptogen they developed based on Dr. Blum's many years of research to increase the endogenous production of Dopamine and reduce negative Reward Deficiency Syndrome behaviors. The scientific evidence they have thus far accumulated, they say, demonstrates that SynaptoseTM changes the plasticity of the brain synapses while balancing the endogenous neurotransmitters, positively affecting the Brain Reward Cascade.
