摘要: Background A significant number of patients with schizophrenia fail to respond antipsychotic medication. Although several studies have investigated associated patient characteristics, the emerging findings from genetic offer further scope for study. Method In 612 detailed clinical information, common variants indexed by polygenic risk scores, and rare deletion duplication burden genomewide, we explored potential predictors alongside other established factors treatment resistance. Clinical outcomes resistance were also calculated using lifetime measures positive, negative/disorganized mood symptoms as well hospitalizations suicide attempts. Results Logistic regression models identified a relationship between total years formal schooling age at onset. Clinically, treatment-resistant characterized greater positive hospitalizations. Conclusions Taken together, these suggest specifically genomewide copy variants, may increase our understanding management schizophrenia.
