Abstract excerpt
We applied a systematic pharmacogenetic approach to investigate the role of genetic variation in the gene encoding catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) in individual variation in selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) response among depressed patients. In all, 23 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in COMT were genotyped using DNA from the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR(*)D)...
