Genotypic variation in the SV2C gene impacts response to atypical antipsychotics the CATIE study.

ABSTRACT: Pharmacogenetic (PGx) predictors of response would improve outcomes in antipsychotic treatment. Based on both biological rationale and prior evidence of an impact on Parkinson's disease, we conducted an association study for 106 SNPs in the synaptic vesicle protein 2C (SV2C) gene using genetic and treatment response data from the Clinical Trial of Antipsychotic Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE). We examined response to the atypical antipsychotics for Caucasian subjects in the blinded phases, Phases 1A, 1B, and 2, of CATIE with sample sizes as follows: olanzapine (N=134), quetiapine (N=124), risperidone (N=134), and ziprasidone (N=74). Response was defined as change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score using a mixed model repeat measures approach. Subjects homozygous f
