Abstract excerpt
Heroin use disorder is a chronic relapsing brain disease containing multiple phenotypes. These phenotypes vary among heroin users and might be influenced by genetic factors. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and alpha-1-adrenergic receptor (ADRA1A) genes are associated with heroin use disorder. However, it has not been clarified which phenotypes of heroin use disorder...
