  • A new genetic locus for antipsychotic-induced weight gain: A genome-wide study of first-episode psychosis patients using amisulpride (from the OPTiMiSE cohort) - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32126890

    ABSTRACT: Background: Antipsychotic-induced weight gain is a common and debilitating side effect of antipsychotics. Although genome-wide association studies of antipsychotic-induced weight gain have been performed, few genome-wide loci have been discovered. Moreover, these genome-wide association studies have included a wide variety of antipsychotic compounds. Aims: We aim to gain more insight in the genomic loci affecting antipsychotic-induced weight gain. Given the variable pharmacological properties of antipsychotics, we hypothesized that targeting a single antipsychotic compound would provide new clues about genomic loci affecting antipsychotic-induced weight gain. Methods: All subjects included for this genome-wide association study (n=339) were first-episode schizophrenia spectrum di

  • rs10070777 weight gain risk with psychiatrist Low

    Carriers of the A-allele on amisulpride gained 2x as much weight per month as non-carriers (5.04 kg vs 2.56 kg), with 3.98x odds of clinically significant weight gain.

    If considering amisulpride, discuss this variant and explore alternative antipsychotics
