Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the impact of codon 158 polymorphism at the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene on prescription of antipsychotic medication in a general population. METHODS: The sample comprised 2623 non-diabetic individuals who participated in the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) in the period 1995-97 and who were alive 1 January 2004. The subjects were followed...
