Association Between HTR2C and HTR2A Polymorphisms and Metabolic Abnormalities in Patients Treated With Olanzapine or Clozapine
7 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Serotonin 2C and 2A receptor (5-HT2C and 5-HT2A) antagonisms are hypothesized to play a role in the metabolic adverse effects induced by olanzapine and clozapine. Associations between polymorphisms in 5-HT2C and 5-HT2A receptor coding genes, HTR2C and HTR2A, with antipsychotic-induced weight gain have been reported. The impact of HTR2C and HTR2A polymorphisms on body mass index (BMI), glucose-insulin homeostasis,...
