What each result means

A/A Typical opioid receptor sensitivity in published research.
A/G Published research associates this genotype with somewhat altered opioid receptor sensitivity.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with altered opioid receptor sensitivity, which some studies link to differences in pain medication response.
This does not change how any medication should be prescribed. Talk to a doctor about pain management — never adjust medication on your own based on this result.
