The serotonin 2A receptor gene in alcohol dependence and tobacco smoking.

Drug and alcohol dependence - 1 Apr 2009

Polina Evelise Regina, Contini Verônica, Hutz Mara Helena, Bau Claiton Henrique Dotto

Abstract excerpt

Alcohol and nicotine abuse and dependence are multifactorial traits that frequently co-occur, where 80-90% of alcohol-dependent individuals who seek treatment smoke. Nicotine is the main compound of tobacco and one of its effects is to increase the release of serotonin. Variations in the serotonergic system may influence some aspects of smoking. The serotonin receptor gene HTR2A has been a candidate gene with...
