Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The rs4680 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the COMT gene leads to a reduction in dopamine clearance, resulting in better mood and a decrease in symptoms in noncancer populations, but its influence on quality of life (QOL) during cancer treatment is undefined. We hypothesized that in comparison to wildtype (WT) COMT, the rs4680 SNP is associated with better QOL among men with...
