Association analysis of polymorphisms in the DRD4 gene and heroin abuse in Chinese subjects.

American journal of medical genetics - 9 Oct 2000

Abstract excerpt

Heroin abuse is a major social and public health problem in many parts of the world, yet relatively little is known about its etiology. Although genes play a role in determining susceptibility, they are expected to be of small effect with considerable heterogeneity. Because the dopamine system is involved in reward, its neurotransmitter receptors are candidates for etiological involvement in addiction. In the...
