Abstract excerpt
Heroin addiction is a chronic and complex brain disease. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) have been shown as major control points in many of the neurological and physiological disorders involved in heroin addiction. In the present study, thirty-three SNPs across nine nAChR genes were selected and probed for their associations with heroin addiction phenotypes in 801 unrelated northwestern Chinese Han...
