Outcome definitions and clinical predictors influence pharmacogenetic associations between HTR3A gene polymorphisms and response to clozapine in patients with schizophrenia
AssociationN=101Rajkumar AP et al.(2012)· Psychopharmacology

In 101 treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients, the T allele of HTR3A rs1062613 and G allele of rs2276302 were significantly associated with good response to clozapine (p=0.02), with odds ratios of 9.00 and 5.99 respectively. However, these associations were highly dependent on outcome definition, explaining only 13.8% of clozapine response variability, while combined clinical and genetic predictors explained 38% of variability.

Influence of neurexin 1 (NRXN1) polymorphisms in clozapine response
ReviewRenan P. Souza et al.(2010)· Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental

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.

Lack of association of GPX1 and MnSOD genes with symptom severity and response to clozapine treatment in schizophrenia subjects
ReviewRenan P. Souza et al.(2009)· Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental

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.

About HTR3A

The product of this gene belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel receptor superfamily. This gene encodes subunit A of the type 3 receptor for 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. This receptor causes fast, depolarizing responses in neurons after activation. It appears that the heteromeric combination of A and B subunits is necessary to provide the full functional features of this receptor, since either subunit alone results in receptors with very low conductance and response amplitude. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
