Abstract excerpt
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT: A single nucleotide polymorphism in ABCB1, which encodes P-glycoprotein, has retrospectively been associated with symptoms of nortriptyline-induced postural hypotension in depressed patients. This finding needs to be replicated in independent studies before recommendations regarding pharmacogenetic testing can be made. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: In a prospective study of...
