title: Absence of weight gain association with the HTR2C -759C/T polymorphism in patients with schizophrenia treated with iloperidone.
abstract: Weight gain is a common side effect of antipsychotics, contributing to poor treatment adherence, and previously linked to the -759C/T polymorphism near the serotonin receptor 2C gene. The effect of this polymorphism was analyzed in schizophrenia patients treated with iloperidone for up to 7 months. No association was detected with the modest weight changes observed in these patients.
