Schizophrenia and related psychoses CHAPTER 1 NFIB rs28379954 T>C CT carriers have much lower blood concentrations than TT carriers in both smokers and non-­smokers.18 Also, the rs2472297 genotype independently predicts clozapine plasma levels.19 Levels are highest in C/C carriers and lowest in T/T carriers (C/T somewhere in between). Genetic analysis of CYP function can identify the cause of low clozapine blood concentrations and allow selection of appropriate enzyme inhibitors.20 Other adverse effects Genetic predictors of myocarditis21 and weight gain22 have also been found, but associations are probably too weak to allow clinical application.15 References
