Predictive Role of Serotonin Receptor (5HTR2A) and Dopamine Receptor (DRD2) gene polymorphisms in risperidone-induced weight gain and hyperprolactinemia in patients with schizophrenia.
The article focuses on exploring the long-term adverse effects of risperidone, a second-generation antipsychotic used in schizophrenia (SCZ) management, and how genetic variations influence individual susceptibility to these side effects. Topics include the mechanisms of risperidone's action on dopamine and serotonin receptors, the impact of genetic polymorphisms on treatment-related adverse outcomes.
