    Later with bigger sample size and additional polymorphisms enrolled they showed no association of Taq1A and HTR2A ‒1438 G/A, 102T/C and HTR2C ‒759 C/T with antipsychotic response to risperidone (44). For the same polymorphism Takase M, et al. (2017) has recently found a relationship between Del carriers and high-dose pharmacotherapy in schizophrenia (45). Previously, a rs1076560 regulatory polymorphism of the DRD2 gene has been identified as a genetic risk factor for schizophrenia and has been involved in schizophrenia intermediate phenotypes in the meta-analysis (46).
