Genetic and Epigenetic Factors Influencing Methamphetamine Addiction and Aggressive Behavior among Iraqi Adult men

2025-11-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Methamphetamine addiction remains a significant public health concern, primarily affecting the central nervous system by disrupting dopamine and serotonin signaling. Epigenetic modifications, especially DNA methylation in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) genes, are implicated in addiction-related behavioral changes. While previous research has examin...
