Cannabis, COMT and psychotic experiences.

The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science - 1 Nov 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A putative interaction between cannabis and variation at rs4680 within the catechol-methyl-transferase (COMT) gene on psychosis has been reported, but not adequately replicated. AIMS: To examine whether the relative risk of developing psychosis following use of cannabis is dependent upon variation within COMT. METHOD: A longitudinal study of 2630 individuals from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents...
