Individuation of therapy and understanding origins of differential treatment response may require identification of inherited functional variants of genes. The neurobiology of reward, executive cognitive function, anxiety and dysphoria have been identified as critical domains that may have a genetic basis that could predict treatment response. METHOD The COMBINE Study presents a unique opportunity to evaluate specific genetic loci (markers) that affect neurobiology central to addiction and extended withdrawal. The study also addresses variation in drug metabolism and action. Candidate genetic markers are selected for study based on functionality and abundance. RESULTS COMT Vall58Met is a common (minor allele frequency 0.42), functional, catecholamine-metabolizing enzyme polymorphism with threefold relevance. Vall58Met alters executive cognitive function, stress and anxiety responses and brain endogenous opioid function. OPRM1 Asn40Asp is a common (minor allele frequency 0.10), functional polymorphism of the mu-opioid receptor, which may serve as a gatekeeper molecule in naltrexone's actions and was recently reported to affect naltrexone response. HTTLPR (minor allele frequency 0.40) alters serotonin transporter function to affect anxiety, dysphoria and obsessional behavior, which are assessed in COMBINE and may be related to relapse and addictive behavior. CONCLUSIONS All genetic testing is consented through a separate human research protocol, and the testing is conducted nonclinically, confidentially and apart from the clinical record to protect human research participants who have volunteered for this aspect of COMBINE.","PeriodicalId":17056,"journal":{"name":"Journal of studies on alcohol.
