Association of Atypical Antipsychotics With Lipid Abnormalities in Adult Patients With Schizophrenia: A Scoping Review. [PDF]
This scoping review highlights the link between atypical antipsychotics and dyslipidaemia in adults with schizophrenia, identifying clozapine and olanzapine as high‐risk agents. Biomarkers and genetic polymorphisms offer promise for personalized treatment. Further research is needed on lesser‐studied drugs and predictive tools.

Pharmacogenomics implementation efforts have increased over the last decade, but no published prospective pharmacogenomics trials have formally evaluated utility in underrepresented populations. We present final results from the ACCOuNT trial, a multi‐institutional prospective study [NCT03225820] in which African American inpatients were genotyped and ...

Pharmacogenetics of schizophrenia
There is substantial unexplained interindividual variability in the drug treatment of schizophrenia. A substantial proportion of patients respond inadequately to antipsychotic drugs, and many experience limiting side effects. As genetic factors are likely to contribute to this variability, the pharmacogenetics of schizophrenia has attracted substantial
