Abstract excerpt
Five candidate genes, the receptors DRD2, DRD3, HTR2A and GABA(A)gamma2, and the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) were analyzed for association with heroin abuse. We examined three polymorphisms (promoter - 141DeltaC, Ser311Cys, and TaqI) in the DRD2 gene, one polymorphism (Ser9Gly) in the DRD3 gene, two polymorphisms (promoter - 1438G/A and T102C) in the HTR2A gene, two polymorphisms (VNTR and Del/Ins) in 5-HTT...
