Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention identifies genotypes associated with resistance to extrapyramidal symptoms induced by antipsychotic drugs. The present invention further identifies genotypes associated with predisposition to the onset or aggravation of extrapyramidal symptoms induced by antipsychotic drugs and use thereof for assessment of patient populations. Specifically, the present invention relates to particular polymorphisms in the RGS2 gene that are associated with resistance or susceptibility to drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for identifying a human subject as having a decreased tendency to develop Parkinsonism as an extrapyramidal symptom following treatment with an antipsychotic drug, said method comprising: obtaining a sample comprising genetic material of said subject; detecting, in said genetic material, the presence of at least one allele of the regulator of G-protein signaling 2 gene, comprising guanine at the SNP rs4606 thereby identifying the human subje…
