The cytochrome P450 2D6*10 genetic polymorphism alters postoperative analgesia.

The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6*10 genetic polymorphism on postoperative patient-controlled morphine usage. A total of 114 patients were selected, and 102 patients completed the study. Polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the CYP2D6*10 genotype, and patients were categorized into three groups according to CYP2D6 genotype: heterozygous (m/w), wild-type homozygous (w/w), and mutant homozygous (m/m).
