TPH1 and 5-HTTLPR Genes Specifically Interact in Opiate Dependence but Not in Alcohol Dependence

The data suggested that there may be a differential genetic vulnerability in serotonergic genes for alcohol and opiate addiction, and replications of the findings are still needed.

Evaluation of the Association of Htr2a Gene Rs6313 Polymorphism with Heroin Dependence in a Sample from Northwest Iran

The results of the study could not support a significant association between HTR2A rs6313 polymorphism and heroin dependence in the Azeri population of Northwest Iran, indicating the need to investigate other candidate genetic polymorphisms in the study population.

Characterization of serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) polymorphisms and its association with drug dependence in a Jordanian Arab population

A putative role of the 5-HTTLPR for drug dependence in the Jordanian Nationals of Arab ancestry is suggested.

Association between serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms and heroin dependence: a meta-analytic study

The results suggest an ethnic-specific effect of the 5-httlpr polymorphism on the risk for heroin dependence, but the influence of the genetic variance in the patients with comorbidities or intermediate phenotypes of heroin dependence needs to be further examined.

Multi-Cultural Association of the Serotonin Transporter Gene (SLC6A4) with Substance Use Disorder

The meta-analysis supports that the association of the SLC6A4 gene with substance use disorder varies depending on substances with different risk allele frequencies in the multi-cultural populations.

The influence of the 5-HTTLPR allelic variants in children and adolescent misuse of alcohol might be considered for clinical management, preventing long-term behavior problem.

Polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter and receptor genes: susceptibility to substance abuse

Future research on 5-HT addiction genetics should adopt whole-genome sequencing technology, utilize large study samples, and collect data from multiple ethnic groups to build on the work already conducted with the aim of utilizing 5- HT genetics in SUD treatment settings.

Association study of 37 genes related to serotonin and dopamine neurotransmission and neurotrophic factors in cocaine dependence

The data show additional evidence for the involvement of the serotoninergic system in the genetic susceptibility to cocaine dependence, and the association between cocaine dependence and HTR2A in both subgroups of patients.

Serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms, alcoholism, and suicidal behavior

Alcohol dependence and polymorphisms of serotonin-related genes: association studies.

Results support earlier studies implicating the role of 5HTT gene in alcoholism, and the increase of sample size is expected to enable search of more subtle differences, as well as re-evaluation of these preliminary findings.

Association between Heroin Dependence and 5-HT2A Receptor Gene Polymorphisms

Findings support a contribution of the 5-HT2A gene to susceptibility to heroin dependence, as well as a possible synergistic effect of 5- HT2A and5-HTT genes on susceptibility toHeroin dependence.

Serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) and monoamine oxidase (MAOA) promoter polymorphisms in women with severe alcoholism

Genotyping of two functional polymorphisms in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter and monoamine oxidase-A, respectively, in a group of women with severe alcohol addiction found aggressive anti-social behaviour was significantly linked to the presence of the high activity MAOA allele.

Serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms in alcohol dependence.

Association study of alcoholism subtypes with a functional promoter polymorphism in the serotonin transporter protein gene.

Although allele frequencies differed significantly by population, there was no evidence of differences by diagnosis or as a function of any of the three subtypes of alcoholism based on sex, comorbid drug dependence, or age of onset of alcohol dependence.

[Alcohol dependence and polymorphisms of serotonin-related genes].

Genes involved in the transmission, reuptake and metabolism of serotonin constitute a set of candidate genes that could be involved in core aspects of alcoholism, such as the tendency to prefer immediate reward, despite negative consequences.

The data suggest that a decreased expression of the gene encoding the 5‐HTT transporter, due to “S” promoter polymorphism, may be associated with an increased risk for substance use disorders, particularly in the subjects with more consistent aggressiveness and impulsiveness.
