Abstrakt: Background: Cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 activity affects antipsychotic therapy safety. 1846G>A (CYP2D6*4) polymorphism frequency varies among different ethnic groups. Methods: We studied 1846G>A polymorphism in Tatar and Russian schizophrenic patients taking different antipsychotics and association of 1846G>A polymorphism and extrapyramidal disorders (EPD) frequency in schizophrenic patients on haloperidol monotherapy in daily doses up to 20 mg. Results: Heterozygous 1846GA genotype frequency among Tatars was lower (23.8% vs. 32.4% in Russians), but the differences did not reach statistical significance. The 1846A allele frequency among Tatars was also lower (11.9% vs. 24.3% in Russians), but the difference was not quite significant (p = 0.0592). Average daily haloperidol dose in the group without EPD was significantly higher than in the group with EPD (11.35 ± 4.6 vs. 13.87 ± 3.3 mg, p = 0.0252), but average daily haloperidol dose/weight ratios in the compared groups had no significant differences. A statistically significant association between EPD development and heterozygous 1846GA genotype and 1846A allele carrier frequency was revealed among all schizophrenic patients and among those of Tatars. Conclusions: Further well-designed pharmacogenetic studies in different Russian regions are needed to improve psychotropic therapy safety and to establish evidence-based indications for pharmacogenetic testing in clinical practice.
