Polymorphisms of the<i>ABCB1</i>Gene are Associated with the Therapeutic Response to Risperidone in Chinese Schizophrenia Patients
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
P-glycoprotein, a product of the ATP-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) gene, plays an important role in absorption and distribution of drugs. The brain entry of risperidone and 9-OH-risperidone is greatly limited by P-glycoprotein, which implies that the functional polymorphisms of ABCB1 in humans may be a factor contributing to the variability in response to risperidone. The present study was therefore designed to...
