Abstract
We identified the null variants *3,*4,*5,*6,*7 and *8 of the CYP2D6 gene [encoding for cytochrome P450 (debrisoquine hydroxylase)] in a group of 84 chronic-stay psychiatric inpatients with severe schizophrenia or related disorders and receiving treatment with one or more CYP2D6 substrates for years. We also studied a group of 100 healthy controls of similar ethnic origin (Spanish Caucasians). Three patients were poor metabolizers (PMs) for antipsychotic drugs according to their CYP2D6 genotype (i.e. homozygous for the *4 allele) but they exhibited no adverse drug reaction over the years despite chronic treatment with CYP2D6 substrates. We suggest that CYP2D6 genetic screening is more useful in other type of psychiatric patients, particularly in younger ones starting treatment protocols.
