Association of Galanin and Its Receptor Gene Polymorphism with Opioid Dependence: Preliminary Findings from India
This study provides preliminary evidence of an association between GALR1 rs9807208 polymorphism and opioid dependence in an Indian population, suggesting a potential genetic basis for addiction risk. Further studies with larger samples could be considered to confirm these findings and also to explore gene-environment interactions in opioid dependence.
