Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have shown that one of the genetic variants BDNF val66met polymorphism is associated with drug addiction. Age at onset for drugs abuse has also been regularly cited as a factor associated with high genetic predispositions. We conducted an exploratory research to investigate the association of BDNF val66met genetic polymorphism with the ages of onset for heroin abuse in males. Venous blood samples...
