Alcohol dependence, disinhibited behavior and variation in the prodynorphin gene.

Biological psychology - 1 Sept 2011

Flory Janine D, Pytte Carolyn L, Hurd Yasmin, Ferrell Robert E, Manuck Stephen B

Abstract excerpt

The results of the current analyses present preliminary evidence of an association between putatively functional variation in the prodynorphin (PDYN) gene and a dimensional measure of disinhibited behavior. A 68bp sequence in the core promoter region of the PDYN gene was genotyped in a community sample of 1021 adults aged 30-54. Participants were interviewed for lifetime history of DSM-IV alcohol dependence and...
