Suggestive association between OPRM1 and impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease

Conclusions: Our results are suggestive of a novel association of the opioid receptor geneOPRM1 with impulse control disorders and related behaviors in PD and confirm a previous association withDAT1. Although replication in independent studies is needed, our results bring potential new insights to the understanding of molecular mechanisms of impulse control disorders. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
