Publication Abstract Display | Type: Published Abstract | Title: Association analysis of putative and novel SNPs for methamphetamine dependence by ethnicity. | Authors: Bousman CA, Glatt SJ, Cherner M, Atkinson JH, Grant I, Tsuang MT, Everall IP, and the HNRC Group | Year: 2008 | Publication: Society of Biological Psychiatry Annual Scientific Convention, Washington, D.C | Volume: 63 Issue: (7) Suppl 1 Pages: 520 | Abstract:Efforts to understand the biological processes that increase
susceptibility to methamphetamine (meth) dependence have uncovered several
putative genotypic variants. However, to date research in this area has been
conducted primarily in Asian populations. The purpose of this study was
to examine, among a population of meth dependent Caucasians, African-
Americans and Hispanics, five putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
found to be associated with meth dependence in Asians. In addition, four novel
SNPs were examined for potential association with meth dependence. |
