Aim of the study is to compare prodynorphin (PDYN) rs1997794, rs1022563, rs6045819, rs2235749 polymorphisms in individuals with methamphetamine use disorder (MD) to that of healthy controls (HC), and to investigate the differences in serum PDYN levels in methamphetamine withdrawal. It is also aimed to explore the temperament characteristics and depression and their relationship with PDYN polymorphisms and PDYN serum levels in MD group. PDYN gene and serum levels were studied in 134 patients with MD and 97 HC. Patients with MD were administered Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A). For rs1022563 polymorphism, TT and CT genotype frequency and T allele frequency were significantly higher in the MD group than the frequencies in HC. It was found that rs2235749 polymorphism AA genotype was associated with increased risk of MD. PDYN rs1997794 CT genotypes had significantly higher scores of TEMPS-A irritable than CC genotypes and PDYN rs1022563 CC genotypes had significantly higher scores of TEMPS-A irritable than TT genotypes. PDYN levels among persons with MD were significantly higher than among the HC group when the withdrawal level increased and withdrawal symptoms improved. During the period in which the withdrawal level increased, there was a negative correlation between PDYN level and BDI and a positive relationship between PDYN level and TEMPS-A hyperthymic. It may be beneficial to screen temperament characteristics associated with increased risk of addiction in patients with MD and develop interventions based on temperament characteristics and the effects of PDYN.
