DOPAMINE D2 RECEPTOR GENE VARIANTS

摘要

The present invention provides a method of predicting antipsychotic responseto drugtherapy comprising testing a sample obtained from a subject for the presenceof apolymorphism in the dopamine D2 receptor gene DRD2, wherein the presence ofthers1079598T allele, the rs1125394A allele or both is predictive of the subjectbeingsusceptible to drug therapy.
