This study seeks to replicate previous results indicating that T102C in the serotonin 2A receptor (HTR2A) and Ser9Gly in the dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) were associated with a risperidone response to acutely exacerbated schizophrenia, and to determine whether possession of these alleles predicts clinical improvement in a naturalistic setting.
We consecutively recruited 100 schizophrenia patients and assessed clinical improvement after 4 weeks of risperidone treatment.
The patients with T/T in the HTR2A gene showed less clinical improvement than did those with T/C or C/C (p = 0.044). In the case of the DRD3 gene, we did not find statically significant association with clinical improvement (p = 0.061). When patients were categorized into responders and nonresponders, the C allele was more frequent in responders (OR = 2.28, 95%CI = 1.06-4.91, p = 0.039). When combinations of the two polymorphisms were considered, patients who had T/T in the HTR2A gene and encoded Ser/Ser or Ser/Gly from DRD3 gene had a higher propensity to non-responsiveness compared to other subjects (OR = 3.57, 95%CI = 1.10-11.62, p = 0.039).
Our findings suggest that the HTR2A T102C could be a potential indicator of clinical improvement after risperidone treatment.
本研究旨在重复先前的结果,即血清素2A受体(HTR2A)中的T102C和多巴胺D3受体(DRD3)中的Ser9Gly与急性加重型精神分裂症对利培酮的反应相关,并确定拥有这些等位基因是否能预测在自然环境中的临床改善情况。
我们连续招募了100名精神分裂症患者,并在利培酮治疗4周后评估临床改善情况。
HTR2A基因中T/T型患者的临床改善程度低于T/C型或C/C型患者(p = 0.044)。对于DRD3基因,我们未发现其与临床改善有统计学意义的关联(p = 0.061)。当将患者分为反应者和无反应者时,反应者中C等位基因更为常见(OR = 2.28,95%CI = 1.06 - 4.91,p = 0.039)。当考虑两种多态性的组合时,与其他受试者相比,HTR2A基因中为T/T且DRD3基因编码Ser/Ser或Ser/Gly的患者无反应倾向更高(OR = 3.57,95%CI = 1.10 - 11.62,p = 0.039)。
我们的研究结果表明,HTR2A T102C可能是利培酮治疗后临床改善的一个潜在指标。
