Association between adenosine receptor gene polymorphism and response to caffeine citrate treatment in apnea of prematurity; An Egyptian single-center study
Background: Caffeine citrate is the methyl-xanthine of choice used in controlling apnea of prematurity (AOP). Caffeine central effect is mediated via non-selective (A1) and selective (A2a) adenosine receptors antagonism. Variability in caffeine response had been frequently noticed in AOP, suggesting...
