Abstract excerpt
We examined 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the coding region of the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), among 382 European Americans (EAs) affected with substance dependence [alcohol dependence (AD) and/or drug dependence (DD)] and 338 EA healthy controls. These SNPs delineated two haplotype blocks. Genotype distributions for all SNPs were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in controls, but in...
