To detect the relationship between heroin-dependence and -287 A/G polymorphism of catechol-O-methyltransferase(COMT) gene.
Genotype and allele frequencies of -287 A/G polymorphism of COMT gene were examined in 268 heroin-dependent subjects and 177 normal controls.
Weak but significant difference in genotype of -287 A/G polymorphism of COMT gene was observed between heroin-dependent subjects and controls (chi(2)=7.41, P=0.025), and genotype AA was higher in the former. The frequency of allele A of -287 A/G polymorphism of COMT gene was also significantly higher in heroin-dependent subjects than in the controls (chi(2)=5.69, P=0.017).
The results suggested that liability to heroin-dependence was associated with -287 A/G polymorphism of COMT gene.
检测海洛因依赖与儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶(COMT)基因-287A/G多态性之间的关系。
检测268例海洛因依赖者和177例正常对照者COMT基因-287A/G多态性的基因型及等位基因频率。
海洛因依赖者与对照者COMT基因-287A/G多态性基因型存在微弱但显著的差异(χ²=7.41,P=0.025),前者AA基因型比例更高。海洛因依赖者COMT基因-287A/G多态性的等位基因A频率也显著高于对照者(χ²=5.69,P=0.017)。
结果提示海洛因依赖易感性与COMT基因-287A/G多态性有关。
