Abstract excerpt
Our objective was to investigate the relationship between the gene encoding the mu-opioid receptor (OPRM1) and susceptibility to substance dependence in European-American (EA) and African-American (AA) subjects. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the OPRM1 locus, i.e., -2044C/A, -1793T/A, -1699insT, -1469T/C, -1320A/G, -111C/T, +17C/T (Ala6Val), and +118A/G (Asn40Asp) were genotyped in 676 subjects:...
