  • Patent number: 8986929
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20130078637
    Abstract: The present invention relates to genotypes associated with resistance to antipsychotic-induced parkinsonism and other extrapyramidal symptoms induced by antipsychotics, and use of said genotypes for assessment of patient populations. The methods and kits of the invention are based on identifying in a sample obtained from a subject, specific SNPs in the ZFPM2 and RGS2 genes.
