Opioid receptor mu 1 (OPRM1) A118G polymorphism (rs1799971) and postoperative nausea and vomiting.

CONCLUSIONS: OPRM1-A118G polymorphism (A > G) is associated with a reduced risk of postoperative vomiting, but not nausea, pruritus and dizziness. The results should be interpreted with caution due to limited sample and possible heterogeneity between the included studies. Well-designed and large-scale studies are necessary to confirm our results. PMID: 30323865 [PubMed]
