Abstract
Mitigating pain in early life may prevent epigenetic changes that increase an individual"s susceptibility for developing chronic pain. Adverse effects and the quality of the DNA collected challenge the suitability of saliva-extracted DNA. Saliva-extracted DNA is a feasible, noninvasive DNA sampling technique for examining OPRM1 gene methylation in preterm infants.
