ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study aimed to investigate the association of multiple candidate genes with weight gain and appetite change during antipsychotic treatment.METHODS:
A total of 233 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 60 candidate genes were genotyped. BMI changes for up to 8 weeks in 84 schizophrenia patients receiving antipsychotic medication were analyzed using a linear mixed model. In addition, we assessed appetite change during antipsychotic treatment in a different group of 46 schizophrenia patients using the Drug-Related Eating Behavior Questionnaire.RESULTS:
No SNP showed a statistically significant association with BMI or appetite change after correction for multiple testing. We observed trends of association (P<0.05) between 19 SNPs of 11 genes and weight gain, and between 7 SNPs of 5 genes and appetite change. In particular, rs696217 in GHRL showed suggestive evidence of association with not only weight gain (P=0.001) but also appetite change (P=0.042). Patients carrying the GG genotype of rs696217 exhibited higher increase in both BMI and appetite compared to patients carrying the GT/TT genotype.DISCUSSION:
Our findings suggested the involvement of a GHRL polymorphism in weight gain, which was specifically mediated by appetite change, during antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenia patients.
