Association between neuropeptide Y gene polymorphism and antipsychotics effect.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The pathogenesis of schizophrenia is associated with neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene polymorphism to explore the relationship between rs16141, rs16145, and rs5573 polymorphisms in the NPY gene and antipsychotics response in the Chinese population.

Methods

The unrelated 228 Chinese Han patients with schizophrenia were enrolled in the present study. Genotypisation within NPY gene was performed using the KASP genotyping assays. Before treatment and on the weekends of the 2nd, 4th, and 8th weeks after treatment, the medication status of the patients was recorded and the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate the clinical effect. A reduction in total PANSS scores ≥50% were classified as good responders, while others were poor responders. We evaluate
