Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study aims to test for possible associations between the gene coding for the 5-HT2C receptor and antipsychotic-induced weight gain. MATERIALS & METHODS: Four HTR2C polymorphisms (rs498207, C-759T, G-697C and Ser23Cys) were investigated in our sample of 205 chronic schizophrenia patients. RESULTS: Significant over-representation of the C-G-Cys23 haplotype in patients with weight gain (OR: 1.93; 95% CI:...
