This systematic review of 98 studies examined biological predictors of clozapine response in treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients. Of 379 different gene variants investigated across 70 genetic studies, only three variants (DRD3 Ser9Gly rs6280, HTR2A His452Tyr, and GNB3 C825T) achieved independent replication. Non-genetic predictors included higher prefrontal cortical volumes and lower HVA:5-HIAA ratio in cerebrospinal fluid.

A systematic review of 98 studies investigating biological predictors of clozapine response in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Of 70 genetic studies examining 379 variants, only three genetic variants have independently replicated findings: DRD3 Ser9Gly (rs6280), HTR2A His452Tyr, and GNB3 C825T (rs5442/rs5443). Non-genetic predictors include higher prefrontal cortical structural integrity and activity, and lower HVA:5-HIAA ratio in cerebrospinal fluid.

This dissertation investigated the genetic basis of violent criminal behavior, antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and broader antisocial behavior through GWAS and meta-analyses in Finnish and international populations. Study I identified an intronic CDH13 variant (rs11649622, OR=2.7, p=4.19×10⁻⁶) associated with extremely violent offending, replicated in homicide offenders (p=5.3×10⁻⁷, OR=2.17). Study II revealed the first genome-wide significant association between LINC00951 variant rs4714329 (OR=1.59, p=1.6×10⁻⁹) and ASPD. Study III meta-analysis of 16,400 individuals found no genome-wide significant associations with broader antisocial behavior, though polygenic risk scores explained ~5% of phenotypic variance.
