Abstract excerpt
AIM: Association of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genetic polymorphism rs6265 (Val66Met) with methamphetamine (METH) dependence and METH-induced psychosis was investigated in the Thai population. MATERIALS & METHODS: The rs6265 genotype was determined in 100 male METH-dependent subjects and 102 controls using a real-time PCR high-resolution melt (RT-PCR-HRM) assay. RESULTS: The rs6265 genotype...
