To explore further, the present study aimed to assess the influence of DRD2 -141 C Ins/Del, Taq1A and HTR2A -1438 G/A, 102T/C and HTR2C -759 C/T genetic polymorphisms in response to risperidone in patients with schizophrenia.
In a further analysis by ethnicity, the OR and 95% CIs indicated the T102C polymorphism was not associated with MDD, BPD, or SCZ in Caucasian, Asian or Chinese populations.
The aim of the study was to investigate whether the 5-HT2A receptor gene's polymorphisms (His452Tyr and T102C) have an influence on the response to olanzapine in patients with schizophrenia.
Interestingly, promoter DNA of HTR2A was hypermethylated at and around the -1438A/G polymorphic site, but was hypomethylated at and around T102C polymorphic site in SCZ and BD compared to the controls.
Cytosine methylation of HTR2A at T102C polymorphic site in DNA derived from the saliva can potentially be used as a diagnostic, prognostic, and/or therapeutic biomarker in SCZ and BD.
Forty-nine patients, with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and treated with clozapine (n = 22) or olanzapine (n = 27), were evaluated for fasting levels of C-peptide, insulin and blood glucose, homeostasis model assessment index for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and body mass index (BMI), and genotyped for the -1438A/G, -783A/G, 102T/C, and His452Tyr polymorphisms of the HTR2A gene.
The serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of suicidal behaviour by a genetic association between the 5-HT2A T102C silent polymorphism and suicidality in patients with mood disorders and schizophrenia.
While further research into the molecular mechanisms underlying this interaction is needed, our results underscore the role of 5-HTR in PPI modulation and further implicate the 5-HTR1A G-1019C and the 5-HTR2A T102C polymorphisms in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
This study investigated whether the efficacy of aripiprazole can be predicted by functional HTR2A A-1438G/T102C polymorphisms (rs63311/rs6313) as modified by clinical factors in Han Chinese hospitalized patients with acutely exacerbated schizophrenia.
Could HTR2A T102C and DRD3 Ser9Gly predict clinical improvement in patients with acutely exacerbated schizophrenia? Results from treatment responses to risperidone in a naturalistic setting.
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the T102C polymorphism on the 5HT2A gene and cognitive function as well as clinical manifestations in patients with schizophrenia.
Association between T102C and A-1438G polymorphisms in the serotonin receptor 2A (5-HT2A) gene and schizophrenia: relevance for treatment with antipsychotic drugs.
Differential expression and parent-of-origin effect of the 5-HT2A receptor gene C102T polymorphism: analysis of suicidality in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
There was no genetic association between HTR2A T102C with either schizophrenia or bipolar disorder under the assumption of a parent-of-origin effect, and these data together essentially exclude imprinting at this locus as a potential explanation for the complex inheritance observed in major psychoses.
To investigate (i) the association between four serotonergic polymorphisms (A-1438G and T102C of the 5-HT2A receptor gene, and 5-HTT VNTR and 5-HTTLPR of the 5-HT transporter gene) and schizophrenia and (ii) the potential interaction of those polymorphisms in the development of schizophrenia.
We performed primer extension assays to measure relative expression of allele-specific HTR2A transcripts in mRNAs isolated from the prefrontal cortex of 31 individuals with schizophrenia and from peripheral lymphocytes (PBLs) of 31 healthy individuals heterozygous for 102T/C.
We detected 7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on 13q14, one (rs6313) present at the HTR2A locus and the other 6 at the KPNA3 locus, among 124 British family trios consisting of mother, father and affected offspring with schizophrenia.
Recent studies suggest that the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (5-HT2A) gene (HTR2A) T102C and G-1438A polymorphisms may influence treatment response of risperidone or olanzapine for schizophrenia's negative symptoms (e.g., blunted affect and social withdrawal).
