▶Association of RANBP1 haplotype with smooth pursuit eye movement abnormalityReviewHyun Sub Cheong et al.(2011)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
This comprehensive review examines the genomics of schizophrenia and pharmacogenomics of antipsychotic drugs, synthesizing evidence on over 200 genes associated with psychotic disorders. The authors discuss five categories of genes relevant to antipsychotic response: disease-associated genes, mechanism-of-action genes, drug metabolism genes (particularly CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP3A4), drug transporter genes, and pleiotropic genes. The review details pharmacogenomic profiles of 20+ antipsychotic drugs and demonstrates significant ethnic and interindividual variation in drug metabolism phenotypes, with examples including CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (55.71% of population), intermediate metabolizers (34.7%), poor metabolizers (2.28%), and ultra-rapid metabolizers (7.31%).
▶Converging evidence implicates the dopamine D3 receptor gene in vulnerability to schizophreniaAssociationN=446Fuquan Zhang et al.(2011)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
A pharmacogenetic study of 446 schizophrenic patients (221 males, 225 females) from West Siberia investigating associations between 41 SNPs in dopaminergic genes and antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. The study found rs1799836 in MAOB gene associated with hyperprolactinemia in males (OR=0.748, p=0.048), and rs40184 and rs3863145 in SLC6A3 gene associated with hyperprolactinemia in the risperidone/paliperidone subgroup (OR=0.341, p=0.021 and OR=0.362, p=0.043, respectively), indicating protective effects.
▶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.
▶DRD3, but not COMT or DRD2, genotype affects executive functions in healthy and first‐episode psychosis adolescentsAssociationN=446Igor Bombin et al.(2008)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
A pharmacogenetic association study of 446 schizophrenia patients from West Siberia examined 41 SNPs in dopamine pathway genes (DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, DRD4, SLC6A3, MAOA, MAOB) for association with antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (HPRL). rs1799836 in MAOB showed significant protective association with HPRL in men (OR=0.748, p=0.048), while rs40184 (OR=0.341, p=0.021) and rs3863145 (OR=0.362, p=0.043) in SLC6A3 showed protective effects specifically in risperidone/paliperidone-treated patients.
▶SNPs in dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) and norepinephrine transporter gene (NET) are associated with continuous performance task (CPT) phenotypes in ADHD children and their familiesAssociationN=364Kollins SH et al.(2008)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
Haplotype-tagging SNP analysis in 364 individuals from 152 ADHD families identified significant associations between commission errors and SNPs in the DRD2 gene (rs2075654, rs1079596) and between reaction time variability and a SNP in the NET gene (rs3785155). These findings suggest that commission errors and reaction time variability are valid ADHD endophenotypes linked to dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways.
About DRD3
This gene encodes the D3 subtype of the five (D1-D5) dopamine receptors. The activity of the D3 subtype receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. This receptor is localized to the limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional, and endocrine functions. Genetic variation in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to hereditary essential tremor 1. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms, although some variants may be subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
