Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the association the Val158Met polymorphism of the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene and predisposition to alcoholism and heroin dependence. The authors genotyped DNA samples from 964 Russian males (395 alcoholics, 243 heroin addicts and 326 healthy...
