title: Influence of DAOA gene variants on antipsychotic response after switch to aripiprazole.
abstract: We investigated possible influences of 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the d-amino acid oxidase activator (rs2391191, rs947267, rs3918342) on clinical outcomes and side effects in 86 Korean schizophrenia patients treated with aripiprazole for 8weeks, finding that individuals carrying rs2391191 A allele had significantly lower brief psychiatric rating scale scores than subjects carrying the G allele at each time point. Further research is needed to determine the role of DAOA on the response to antipsychotics.
