Abstract

âº The TSNAX might be a good candidate gene for methamphetamine dependence. âº 215 patients with methamphetamine dependence and 318 age- and sex-matched controls. âº Three 'tagging SNPs' in TSNAX were selected. âº TSNAX was not associated with methamphetamine dependence in the Japanese population. âº A replication study using larger samples needs in the future.
