Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the effect of CYP2C19 genotype on SSRI response in 114,627 research participants. We graded metabolizer status (0 for ultrarapid metabolizers to 4 for poor metabolizers), and regressed drug response outcomes on these grades. Among participants taking escitalopram or citalopram, slower metabolizers experienced side effects significantly more often than faster metabolizers (OR = 1.04 per grade,...
