Title | Glycine and a glycine dehydrogenase (GLDC) SNP as citalopram/escitalopram response biomarkers in depression: pharmacometabolomics-informed pharmacogenomics |
Overall design | For the current study, baseline metabolomic profiles of plasma samples were assayed in patients on SSRI treatment who were in the "remitters" category (remitter group; n = 20) and in the "nonremitters" category (nonremitter group; n = 20). Eight-week citalopram/escitalopram treatment outcome was determined using QIDS-C scores, with "remission" defined as QIDS-C <= 5 and "response" as QIDS-C reduction of >= 50%. MDD patients were selected for metabolomic profiling on the basis of their remission status at the week 8 clinic visit. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics platform was used to profile these 40 plasma samples. |
