1 Additionally, the OPRM1 gene is located in a region showing linkage to nicotine dependence. Nicotine opioid receptor mu 1 Homo sapiens
2 To investigate whether OPRM1 contributes to the susceptibility of smoking initiation and nicotine dependence, we genotyped 11 SNPs in the gene for 688 Caucasian subjects of lifetime smokers and nonsmokers. Nicotine opioid receptor mu 1 Homo sapiens
3 These results suggest that OPRM1 may be involved in smoking initiation and nicotine dependence. Nicotine opioid receptor mu 1 Homo sapiens
