Genetic Factors Associated with Morphine Consumption in Women Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Morphine has been a crucial analgesic agent used perioperatively in various surgical procedures. Genetic factors can lead to morphine dose requirement interpatient variability. Our objective was to determine the contribution of genetic polymorphisms in human μ-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), ATP binding cassette gene (ABCB1) and rs2952768 to the variation of the perioperative morphine consumption in women undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
