    Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a troublesome adverse effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). A variety of mechanisms might be involved in the occurrence of SD but the exact mechanism is still not clear. Genetic variations among patients treated with SSRIs are strong determinants of intolerance and poor compliance. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between serotonin-2A receptor (HTR2A) gene -1438A/G and 102T/C polymorphisms, serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) 5-HTT-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) insertion/deletion variant and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene Val66Met polymorphisms and the occurrence of SD adverse effect in major depressive disorder patients treated with citalopram (CIT) or sertraline (SERT). The result from this investigation revealed that the -1438A/G and 102T/C polymorphisms appear to be associated with the SD induced by CIT. It was also demonstrated that patients receiving SERT, carrying T allele of HTR2A or L allele of 5-HTTLPR more likely to experience SD. Most important overall finding of the study is the combined effects of -1438A/G, 102T/C, and 5-HTTLPR polymorphisms. In a logistic regression model, the occurrence of SD increased with the number of risky alleles. As compared with subjects receiving SERT with few risky (<= 2) alleles, those with had 5-6 alleles had an increased SD risk. After all, according to these findings, -1438A/G, 102T/C, and 5-HTTLPR polymorphisms could be considered as promising pharmacogenetic biomarkers in CIT/SERT treatment in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients to avoid the occurrence of SD.

    Background Genetic polymorphisms in CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 may cause variability in the metabolism of sertraline, a widely used antidepressant in major depressive disorder treatment. Objective This study investigates the impact of CYP2B6*4 (785A > G), CYP2B6*9 (516G > T), CYP2B6*6 (516G > T + 685G > A) CYP2C19*2 (685G > A), CYP2C19*17 (-3402C > T) polymorphisms on plasma concentrations of sertraline and N-desmethyl sertraline in major depression patients treated with sertraline [n = 50]. Setting Participants were patients who admitted to an adult psychiatry outpatient unit at a university hospital. These were DSM-IV major depression diagnosed patients with a stable sertraline medication regimen [for at least one month]. Methods CYP2B6*4 (rs 2279343; 785A > G), CYP2B6*9 (516G > T; rs 3745274), CYP2B6*6 (516G > T + 685G > A) CYP2C19*2 (rs 4244285; 685G > A), CYP2C19*17 (rs 11188072; -3402C > T), polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Plasma concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in patients treated with SERT. Main outcome measure The distribution of CYP2B6*4, *6, *9 and CYP2C19*2, *17 among patient group and the association between genotype and sertraline metabolism. Results Sertraline, N-desmethyl sertraline, N-desmethyl sertraline/sertraline and dose-adjusted plasma concentrations were statistically compared between individuals with wild-type and variant alleles both for CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 enzymes. The mean N-desmethyl sertraline/sertraline value, was significantly lower in all subgroups with *6 and *9 variant alleles (p < 0.05). Sertraline/C values were significantly higher (p < 0.05) and N-desmethyl sertraline/C values were lower in all subgroups with *6 and *9 variant alleles compared to wild-type subgroup. Conclusion CYP2B6*6 and *9 variant alleles had a significant decreasing effect on sertraline metabolism in major depression patients which might result as variations in sertraline therapy.

    The relationship between the serotonin 2A receptor gene-1438A/G and 102T/C polymorphisms and citalopram/sertraline-induced nausea in major depressed patients
    (Wiley, 2018) Oz, Merve Demirbugen; Uckun, Zuhal; Yuce-Artun, Nazan; Baskak, Bora; Ozdemir, Hatice; Ozel, Tugba Kizil; Suzen, H. Sinan
    Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between the polymorphisms of -1438A/G and 102T/C in the 5-HT2A receptor (HTR2A) gene and nausea/vomiting as a side effect induced by sertraline (SERT) or citalopram (CIT) in patients with major depressive disorder. Methods: A total of 128 patients were enrolled, 63 patients received CIT, whereas 65 patients were treated with SERT. Nausea/vomiting were assessed with the UKU Side-effects Rating Scale at baseline and at the end of the second and fourth weeks. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique was employed to determine genetic differences. Results: We have found that, in the patients treated with CIT, there was a nominally significant difference in the genotypic distribution associated with -1438A/G polymorphism between patients with and without nausea (X-2 = 6.15, p = 0.041). Moreover, logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between nausea/vomiting as a side effect and -1438A/G polymorphism. That is, patients with the G allele were at a higher risk for developing nausea/vomiting (p = 0.044, odds ratio = 2.213). The 102T/C polymorphism in the HTR2A gene had no significant effect on the nausea/vomiting as a side effect among participants treated with either CIT or SERT. Conclusion: The present study suggests the association of the HTR2A gene -1438A/G polymorphism with nausea/vomiting as a side effect related to CIT treatment.
