In the present investigation we hypothesized the A118G (Asn40Asp) polymorphism of the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) as a particular vulnerability factor for heroin and alcohol dependence. Therefore, we tested this hypothesis in two independent large samples by two different methods: a case-control sample (comprising n = 287 heroin and n = 221 alcohol study subjects versus n = 365 nondependent controls) and a...
