Abstract excerpt
The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) A118G (rs1799971) in the Mu Opioid Receptor 1 (OPRM1) gene is associated with significant variations in analgesic doses and adverse effects of opioids. The A118G OPRM1 allele distributions vary significantly between different populations worldwide. The study aimed to assess the allele frequency and genotype distribution of OPRM1 A118G SNP in Saudis. This cross-sectional...
