Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Associated with Risk of Opioid Dependence

Background: Opioid dependence is a major public health concern. Genetic factors likely contribute to opioid addiction vulnerability. A number of studies have examined associations between specific gene variants and opioid dependence, but results have been mixed. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted through January 2024 to identify studies evaluating relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and opioid dependence. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effects meta-analysis models. Between-study heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. Results: 66 studies involving 21,485 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Significant associations were found between opioid dependence and variants in the mu-opioid receptor (OPRM1) gene (OR=0.466, 95% CI 0.346-0.628, p=5.456x10-7), prodynorphin (PDYN) gene (OR=0.296, 95% CI 0.221-0.398, p<0.001), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene (OR=0.438, 95% CI 0.383-0.501, p<0.001), and other genes. Effects were detected across multiple genetic models and ancestral groups. Conclusion: This meta-analysis identified multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with heightened opioid dependence susceptibility. The findings advance knowledge of genetic contributions to opioid addiction vulnerability across diverse populations.
