In reply to BDNF genotypes and response to different drugs, posted by SLS on July 15, 2015, at 16:03:20
I apologize.
My statistics are confusing here. The percentage of people I quoted was the frequency of the genotype seen in the general population - not the percentage of responders.
val66val = 66% of population
val66met = 31% of population
met66met = 3% of population-----------------------------------
Genotypes for the BDNF gene versus drug choice:
val66val = SSRI
val66met = SNRI; TCA
met66met = SNRI; TCA-----------------------------------
Previously, BDNF genotypes were associated with varying responses to ketamine:
val66val = best response to ketamine
val66met = intermediate response to ketamine
met66met = poor-response to ketamine-----------------------------------
