Association Study of Adrenergic β3 Receptor (Trp64Arg) and G-Protein β3 Subunit Gene (C825T) Polymorphisms and Weight Change during Clozapine Treatment
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Weight gain, a common adverse effect of clozapine, may impair health and affect patient compliance during treatment with this agent. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between genetic variants of the adrenergic beta3 receptor (ADRB3) and the G-protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) and clozapine-induced body weight change (BWC). Eighty-seven treatment-resistant schizophrenic patients were weighed...
