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.Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that included 102 adult Arab females undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The exposures were carrying the genetic variants of OPRM1, ABCB1 and rs2952768. Our primary outcome was total morphine or morphine equivalent dose required perioperatively. The secondary outcomes were pain score during the first 24 hours and adverse drug reactions. A standardized, general anaesthesia was used for all subjects. In addition to the genetic factors, we also investigated non-genetic factors influencing post-operative pain sensitivity and morphine consumption.Results: Both (rs1799971, A>G) in OPRM1 and (rs2952768, T>C) showed statistically significant association with intra-operative total morphine dose requirements. Patients carrying the “G†allele in OPRM1 had a significantly higher total morphine mean rank dose compared to the AA ...
