The present invention relates to genetic polymorphisms that are associated with dependence on an addictive substance. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for predicting success in addictive substance cessation in a subject, such as predicting success in nicotine cessation. In some embodiments, nicotine cessation is accompanied by a nicotine replacement source and/or an antidepressant. The invention further provides a method for identifying a subject who has an increased risk of becoming dependent on an addictive substance. In some embodiments, the addictive substance is nicotine. Also provided are isolated nucleic acid molecules containing the polymorphisms and reagents for detecting the polymorphic nucleic acid molecules.

La présente invention concerne des polymorphismes génétiques associés à la dépendance à une substance addictive. En particulier, la présente invention concerne un procédé de prédiction du succès du sevrage d'un sujet vis-à-vis d'une substance addictive, par exemple pour prédire le succès d'un sevrage de la nicotine. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le sevrage de la nicotine est accompagné par une source de remplacement de nicotine et/ou un antidépresseur. L'invention propose en outre un procédé d'identification d'un sujet qui présente un risque accru de dépendance à une substance addictive. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la substance addictive est la nicotine. L'invention concerne également des molécules d'acide nucléique isolées contenant les polymorphismes et des réactifs qui permettent de détecter les molécules d'acide nucléique polymorphes.
