Lack of Association between Human µ-Opioid Receptor (<em>OPRM1</em>) Gene Polymorphisms and Heroin Addiction in A Sample of Southeast Iranian Population

Lack of Association between Human µ-Opioid Receptor (<em>OPRM1</em>) Gene Polymorphisms and Heroin Addiction in A Sample of Southeast Iranian Population

It has been proposed that genetic factors account for 30%–50% of the risk for cocaine and heroin addiction. The present study was aimed to find out the impact of µ-opioid receptor gene (<em>OPRM1</em>) rs1799971 A &gt; G and rs9479757 polymorphisms on heroin dependence in a sample of...
