▶Influence of neurexin 1 (NRXN1) polymorphisms in clozapine responseReviewRenan 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 subjectsReviewRenan 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 OXTR
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family and acts as a receptor for oxytocin. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The oxytocin-oxytocin receptor system plays an important role in the uterus during parturition. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
