Abstract

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in pain control might predispose to exaggerated sensitivity or difference in opioid analgesic effect. The relevance of the KCNJ6 -1250G>A (rs6517442, c.-1787G>A) and the COMT c.472G>A (rs4680, ValMet) SNPs were studied in preterm infants needing intubation and randomized to a premedication strategy including remifentanil (n=17) or morphine (n=17).
