Abstract excerpt
AIM: The interindividual variability in the dose required for effective methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for opioid addiction may be influenced in part by genetic variations in genes encoding pharmacodynamic factors of methadone. This study was conducted to identify some of these variants. MATERIALS & METHODS: This study focused on 11 genes encoding components of the opioidergic (OPRM1, POMC and ARRB2), the...
