This study tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the opioid receptor delta 1 (OPRD1) gene coding region are associated with treatment responses in a methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) cohort in Taiwan. Three hundred forty-four MMT patients were recruited. Diastolic/systolic blood pressure, heart rate,...
