Abstract

Genetic variations within the endogenous opioid, innate immune and neurological pathways have been associated with an increased risk of opioid dependence. These variations could potentially have an impact on any of the stages of opioid dependence, including the initial response to opioid administration. However, to date the consequences of these variations on the physiological and psychological response to acute opioid administration have not been investigated. This study aimed to assess the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Interleukin 1B (IL1B) (rs#16944 and rs#1143627), Dopamine Receptor 2 (DRD2) (rs#1076560) and μ-Opioid Receptor (OPRM1) (rs#1799971) genes on the acute response to opioid administration.
