Individuals who are individually genotyped in relationship to addiction and related phenotypes are subject to a number of potential risks. Some of these risks are shared with individuals who are subjected to high density genotyping in relationship to other disorders and phenotypes. Other risks are more likely to come to the fore in studies of illegal behaviors.
