Abstract excerpt
Pharmacogenetic studies have confirmed that the genetic variant of the casein kinase 1 epsilon (Csnk1ε) gene contributes to response variability to amphetamine and methamphetamine in both mice and humans. A polymorphism in the Csnk1ε gene has been reported to be associated with heroin dependence. In this study, to identify markers contributing to the genetic susceptibility of the Csnk1ε gene to heroin dependence,...
