Abstract Antidepressant outcomes in older adults with depression is poor, possibly because of comorbidities such as cerebrovascular disease. Therefore, we leveraged multiple genome-wide approaches to understand the genetic architecture antidepressant response. Our sample included 307 (≥60 years) current major depression, treated venlafaxine extended-release for 12 weeks. A standard association study (GWAS) was conducted post-treatment remission status, followed by silico biological...

Cytochrome P450 drug-metabolizing enzymes may contribute to interindividual differences in antidepressant outcomes. We investigated the effects of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 gene variants on response, tolerability, serum concentrations. Patients (N = 178) were treated with escitalopram (ESC) from weeks 0-8 (Phase I), at week 8, either continued ESC if they responders or augmented aripiprazole (ARI) non-responders (<50% reduction Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale baseline) for 8-16 II). Our...

ObjectiveThe genetic architecture of antidepressant response is poorly understood. This study investigated whether polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for major psychiatric disorders and a personality trait (neuroticism) are associated with treatment outcomes.MethodsWe analysed 148 participants depressive disorder (MDD) from the Canadian Biomarker Integration Network Depression-1 (CAN-BIND-1) cohort. Participants initially received escitalopram (ESC) monotherapy 8 weeks. Nonresponders at week...
