Do Variations in the 5-HT3A and 5-HT3B Serotonin Receptor Genes (HTR3A and HTR3B) Influence the Occurrence of Postoperative Vomiting?

Abstract

Genetic variations in the HTR3A and HTR3B gene seem to be associated with the individual risk of developing POV. How strong their influence is within the multifactorial genesis of POV needs to be investigated in additional studies with an appropriate sample size.
