“… 36 These findings are consistent with the studies using next-generation sequencing which reported associations with the Met allele and severe psychopathology, poor response, resistance to conventional APs, and the need to use higher doses of drugs in resistant patients. 25 , 37 , 38 On the other hand, Molero et al 39 reported an association between Val/Val and a poor response; meanwhile, Kang et al 40 and a recent meta-analysis carried out by Hwang et al 20 reported an association between response and the Met/Met genotype. There is also a series of studies that did not find any association between Val158Met and the response to treatment.…”

“…An association was also detected between rs9606186 in COMT and the efficiency of risperidone in a Chinese population (Fijal et al, 2009). Furthermore, the Met allele was associated with improvement in negative symptoms after treatment with risperidone (Kang et al, 2010). This allele is slower than the Val allele in inactivating prefrontal dopamine (Strous et al, 2006), a mechanism potentially involved in modulating the treatment of negative symptoms in schizophrenia (Carlsson, 2006); therefore, Met/Met carriers may benefit enormously from treatment with atypical antipsychotics.…”

“…Contradictive results are also presented by two different groups of rese-archers. A study of Japanese patients declines the correlation between risperiodne and COMT [123], but the recent study of Chinese Han patients confirms the association of risperidone treatment with V108M COMT variant [124]. Met allele is also associated with better cognitive improvement in patients treated with clozapine, as well as with the overall schizophrenia symptoms improvement in olanzapine treated patients [16].…”
