- Abstract
There is little known about pharmacogenetic of fluoxetine in children and adolescents. In this study, we evaluate, for the first time, the influence of CYP2D6, CYP2C9 and ABCB1 genotypes on the steady-state plasma concentrations of fluoxetine and its active metabolite (S)-norfluoxetine, and on the clinical improvement in children and adolescent patients receiving fluoxetine treatment. The assessment was performed in 83 patients after 8 and 12 weeks of treatment. Fluoxetine/(S)-norfluoxetine ratio was negatively correlated with the number of active CYP2D6 alleles (r: -0.450; P<0.001). Regarding the G2677T ABCB1 polymorphism, T allele carriers showed significantly higher improvements on the majority of scales including the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement scale (P<0.001). Our results confirm the influence of CYP2D6 genetic variants in fluoxetine pharmacokinetics and provide evidence for the potential effect of the ABCB1 genotype on the clinical improvement in children and adolescent patients treated with fluoxetine.
