Abstract excerpt
The OPRD1 gene encodes the delta-opioid receptor, which has multiple functions including regulating reward pathways. The gene contains more than 2,000 verified genetic variants but only 2 currently have evidence for specific functions: rs1042114 disrupts maturation of the receptor and rs569356 affects OPRD1 expression. These polymorphisms and others in the gene have been found to be associated with human...
