Sensitivity to Intravenous Nicotine: Genetic Moderators
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Increasing evidence suggest that MOR contribute to nicotine's rewarding effect. Further, the functional OPRM1 A118G variant has been linked to rewarding effects of alcohol in alcohol users and to nicotine in female smokers. Since no previous studies examined the influence of the A118G variation on pure nicotine responses, the next logical step is to evaluate how this genetic polymorphism affects nicotine's rewarding, cognitive, and physiological effects using IV nicotine administration in male and female smokers. In addition, the association of the G398A polymorphism of the CHRNA5 gene (rs16969968) with maximal response to nicotinic agonists justifies examination of this SNP as a moderator of IV nicotine sensitivity in humans (Bierut et al. 2008). This SNP will be examined in an exploratory fashion since it is not feasible to fully stratify the study sample for multiple SNPs. The frequency of rs16969968 SNP ranges from 35%-42% among those of European ancestry, making it feasible to examine this variation in our subject sample.
Currently this study is active and enrollment is continuing. Currently there are 205 completers and on going.(June 2014)
