Genetic Polymorphism and Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)

Completed
Conditions
Postoperative Nausea
Polymorphism, Genetic
Genetic Predisposition to Disease
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: DNA extraction
Registration Number
NCT03627780
Lead Sponsor
Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo
Brief Summary

Nausea and vomiting affects 25-30% of individuals in the post-operative period and can reach more than 70-80% in high-risk patients. inherited factors may play a significant role in individual susceptibility and clinical research on hereditary factors involved in the pathogenesis of Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting (CINV) is relatively new. The aim of this study is to investigate whether inter-individual differences related to PONV are associated with genetic factors. 300 patients will be evaluated in postoperative oncological surgeries. The peripheral leukocyte DNA will be extracted by the Salting Out Procedure method and processed to genotyping for 48 SNPs from 15 candidate genes by real-time PCR by the Taqman method. The possible associations with demographic data and factors related to surgery will be analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to investigate whether inter-individual differences related to PONV are associated with genetic factors. 300 patients will be evaluated in postoperative oncological surgeries. The peripheral leukocyte DNA will be extracted by the Salting Out Procedure method and processed to genotyping for 48 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 15 candidate genes by real-time PCR by the Taqman method. The possible associations with demographic data and factors related to surgery will be analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.
