INTRODUCTION: Pharmacogenetic factors may explain some of the interindividual variability of response to antidepressants in depressed patients. We focused on P-glycoprotein (P-GP), whose expression depends on a functional polymorphism of the ABCB1 gene (C3435T variants: dbSNP: rs1045642), the 3435CC genotype being linked to a high level of P-GP expression. Acting as an efflux pump at the blood-brain barrier, P-GP...
