The effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3A and 3B receptor genes on nausea induced by paroxetine.
We investigated the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3A and 3B receptor (HTR3A and HTR3B) gene polymorphisms on nausea induced by paroxetine in Japanese psychiatric patients. Blood samples were collected from 78 individuals after at least 2 weeks treatment with the same daily dose of paroxetine. The patients visited every 2 weeks and the paroxetine dose was changed in response to their clinical symptoms. Nausea was assessed at each visit. The Tyr129Ser polymorphism of the HTR3B gene had a significant effect on the incidence of nausea (P=0.038). Logistic regression analysis also showed that patients with the Tyr/Tyr genotype had a 3.95-fold (P=0.048) higher risk of developing nausea than patients with the Ser allele. HTR3A gene polymorphisms and the CYP2D6 gene polymorphisms had no significant effect on the incidence of nausea. The mean score of nausea severity was corrected by the Bonferroni test. HTR3B gene polymorphisms are significant predictors of paroxetine-induced nausea.
