Abstract excerpt
AIM: Our aim was to judge the importance of candidate pharmacogenetic modulators of the central nervous effects of levomethadone by both magnitude of the modulatory effect and frequency of the mutation to assess the utility of genotyping for clinical levomethadone therapy in a random sample of subjects that, by distribution of genotypes, resembled the clinical setting. METHODS: Candidate pharmacogenetic...
