Umbilical cord hernia in a child with autosomal recessive chondrodysplasia punctata.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A recent genetic study in mice and humans revealed the modulatory effect of MC1R (melanocortin-1 receptor) gene variants on kappa-opioid receptor mediated analgesia. It is unclear whether this gene affects basal pain sensitivity or the efficacy of analgesics acting at the more clinically relevant mu-opioid r...
