Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that examination of genome-wide association study (GWAS) findings will enable the investigators to provide pharmacogenomic insights into clinically observed - and, with this study, quantified - differences in propofol requirements for loss of consciousness (LOC) and apnea in children. It is further hypothesized that the distribution of allelic variants in these pharmacogenes may differ between children of different genomic ancestry. Objectives: Primary: (i) To describe and quantify doses of propofol required to produce loss of consciousness and apnea in children of differing ages, sex and self-identified countries of origin. (ii) To identify genomic associations that may explain variability, and generate hypotheses for further study. (iii) To identify genomic ancestry and examine how pharmacogene allele variants that may explain the findings of (i) above are distributed across genomic ancestries. Secondary: To examine the correlation between self-identified countries of family origin and genomic ancestry. Methods: Prospective, non-randomized, single cohort study of two pharmacodynamic endpoints (loss of consciousness and apnea), in children requiring propofol anesthesia, with subsequent genome-wide association study (GWAS) and principal component analysis (PCA) to examine, respectively, pharmacogenomic explanations for pharmacodynamic variability and genomic ancestry.
