Abstract excerpt
The delta-opioid receptor mediates rewarding effects of many substances of abuse. We reported an increased frequency of the minor G-allele of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs569356 (the only variant identified so far in the promoter region of the delta-opioid receptor gene (OPRD1)) in subjects with opioid dependence. In this study, we examined the functional significance of this variant. OPRD1 promoter...
