REMISSION IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH DRD2 RS1800497 AND DAT1 RS28363170 GENETIC VARIANTS IN MALE SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS AFTER 6-MONTHS MONOTHERAPY WITH OLANZAPINE

Symptomatic remission is an achievable goal in the treatment of schizophrenia. The type of antipsychotic medication and particular genetic variants of the dopaminergic system might be associated with remission. Potential pharmacogenetic markers of the treatment response to antipsychotic medication are missing. This study assessed the possible association between dopamine receptor type 2 (DRD2 rs1800497) and dopamine transporter (DAT1 rs28363170)...
