Sensitivity to opioids varies widely among individuals. To identify potential candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may significantly contribute to individual differences in the minimum effective concentration (MEC) of an opioid, fentanyl, we conducted a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) using whole-genome genotyping arrays in 350 patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted colectomy. To estimate the MEC of fentanyl, plasma and effect-site concentrations of fentan ...[more]
