  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the phenotypic candidates symptoms, in patients with crack/cocaine addiction, in terms of clinical comorbidities, dimensions of personality, and neuropsychological evaluations apt to be associated with genetic and genotypic characterisations, notably on the polymorphisms of the genes coding or regulating dopaminergic, norepinephrine and serotoninergic systems.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The specific measure that will be related to core objectives of the study is to constitute a sample collection from saliva. [ Time Frame: The saliva will be collect at the end of the first visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 600
Study Start Date: December 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Genetic: Collect 10 ml of Saliva for DNA extraction
    After signed written informed consent, all patients and controls have clinical and neuropsychological evaluations (DIGS, WURS, BROWN, BIS, SSS and IGT) for phenotypic diagnosis and collection of saliva for DNA extraction and genotyping diagnosis.
Detailed Description:

Genetic studies show an association between drug addiction and the dopaminergic system and its modulators. Nonetheless, results are contradictory, partially due to the heterogeneity of the phenotype addiction. Placed on the trafficking route of cocaine, and homogeneously populated, Martinique is of particular interest for the study of the vulnerability of the crack/cocaine addiction. In a precedent study, supported by a grant MILDT / INSERM 2000, on 155 men dependent to crack/cocaine and characterised with three clinical dimensions -sensation seeking, impulsivity and childhood ADHD- we found an association between each dimension and polymorphisms of DRD2 and DRD4 genes.
