Abstract excerpt
Obesity-related genetic variants, including TMEM18 (rs6548238), SH2B1 (rs7498665), and GNPDA2 (rs10938397), have been shown to be associated with obesity in the general population. Our study aimed to test whether these genetic variants are associated with metabolic profiles and metformin treatment response in clozapine-treated schizophrenic patients. We recruited 107 clozapine-treated patients who were genotyped...
