Association of the dopamine D2 receptor gene SNP rs1800497 with postoperative nausea and vomiting: A prospective cohort study

Eur J Anaesthesiol Intensive CarePublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The construction of a new PONV prediction score including genetic information was not possible due to limited association of the CHRM3 and KCNB2 SNPs. However, the DRD2 GA and AA genotypes (rs1800497) were associated with PONV

Study context

Patients undergoing anaesthesia, Germany
Exposure
DRD2 rs1800497 GA/AA vs GG genotype

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

New PONV prediction score including genetic information
  • Could not be established, due to limited association of the KCNB2 and CHRM3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

Observational data: associations, not effects.
