Chunk #33 — The μ-Opioid Receptor — Pharmacogenetics of the Treatment of Alcoholism

Source
Pharmacogenetics of OPRM1.
Embedded
yes

Text

pharmacogenetic studies have examined the role of A118G in naltrexone treatment, the amount of research on the interaction between OPRM1 genotype and other treatments is extremely limited. A single clinical trial showed no effect of two OPRM1 SNPs, including A118G, on the ability of nalmefene to reduce heavy drinking [118]. Future analyses of non-naltrexone treatment options are still required. In addition, there are no pharmacogenetic studies of naltrexone treatment for opioid addiction.
