Abstract excerpt
Clozapine is a potent atypical antipsychotic which binds to a variety of neurotransmitter receptors including serotonin (5-HT) receptors. However, the precise neurochemical site of clozapine's therapeutic action is unknown. We hypothesize that genetic variation in the neurotransmitter receptors to which the drug binds may influence clozapine response. To test this hypothesis we genotyped a novel -1438-G/A...
