Abstract excerpt
Evidence suggests that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors are involved in the development of drug dependence. Considering its exclusively extrasynaptic localization, GABA receptor delta subunit (GABRD) is likely involved in heroin addiction. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of GABRD and heroin addiction. Genotyping of five SNPs...
