Multilocus Genetic Profile Reflecting Low Dopaminergic Signaling Is Directly Associated with Obesity and Cardiometabolic Disorders Due to Antipsychotic Treatment
14 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Treatment with second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) can cause obesity and other cardiometabolic disorders linked to D2 receptor (DRD2) and to genotypes affecting dopaminergic (DA) activity, within reward circuits. We explored the relationship of cardiometabolic alterations with single genetic polymorphisms DRD2 rs1799732 (NG_008841.1:g.4750dup -> C), DRD2 rs6277 (NG_008841.1:g.67543C>T), COMT rs4680...
