Four single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in neuronal signaling are associated with Opioid Use Disorder in West Virginia.

Conclusions: For the purposes of testing WV individuals via genetic means for predisposition to OUD, at least four single nucleotide polymorphisms in three genes are likely to have utility in predicting susceptibility. Additional studies with larger populations will need to be conducted to confirm these results before use in a clinical setting. PMID: 31057342 [PubMed - in process]
