TL;DR: The current state of pharmacogenomics of several mental health disorders is reviewed including latest results from candidate genes and genome-wide association studies, and incorporation of genetic factors into treatment algorithms is reviewed.
Abstract: However, there is strong belief that further search for genetic factors underlying treatment response, which are also defined as “treatment biomarkers,” would contribute to the personalized medicine approach, in which biomarkers would guide decision-making and help to select the most suitable medication for individual patients. Moreover, incorporation of genetic factors into treatment algorithms could speed recovery from disease by shortening or eliminating lengthy and ineffective trials and thus reduce the risk of treatment resistance. In this chapter, we review the current state of pharmacogenomics of several mental health disorders including latest results from candidate genes and genome-wide association studies. Although a host of genes has been explored in psychiatry, only small numbers of replicated findings have emerged so far. The sample sizes and heterogeneous phenotype definition may be considered the major impediments to success in this important field.
