The role of the CHRNA4 gene in Internet addiction: a case-control study.

Journal of addiction medicine - 1 Sept 2012

Montag Christian, Kirsch Peter, Sauer Carina, Markett Sebastian, Reuter Martin

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies from Asia provided first evidence for a molecular genetic link between serotonergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission and Internet addiction. The present report offers data on a new candidate gene in the investigation of Internet addiction-the gene coding for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 4 (CHRNA4). A case-control study was carried out. The participants were recruited from a...
