Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genetic factors are thought to play an important role in antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG). This study conducted a meta-analysis of current research of the pharmacogenetic associations of adult AIWG. METHODS: The analysis included papers providing comparisons of weight gain across at least two allele combinations for at least one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Inclusion criteria were,...
