Abstract excerpt
Because no frequency data are available for the main opiate-related polymorphisms in sickle-cell disease (SCD) populations, we decided to perform such a genotyping in a cohort of 139 individuals. For pharmacodynamics,the OPRM1 A118G and the COMT G322A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were chosen for their negative effects on the m receptors [1,2]. For pharmacokinetics [3], important SNPs for the CYP2D6 gene...
