Effects of the Serotonin Type 2A, 3A and 3B Receptor and the Serotonin Transporter Genes on Paroxetine and Fluvoxamine Efficacy and Adverse Drug Reactions in Depressed Japanese Patients

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we tested the influence of the serotonin type 2A, 3A and 3B receptor genes (HTR2A, HTR3A, HTR3B) in addition to a polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter (SERTPR), and investigated the different characteristics of clinical responses to paroxetine and fluvoxamine.
