Abstract
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent neurobiological disorders globally. Antidepressant medications are the first-line treatment for managing symptoms. However, over time, pharmacotherapy has been linked to several challenges, primarily due to the wide array of side effects that often reduce patient adherence to treatment. The literature suggests that these side effects may be influenced by polymorphisms in genes related to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antidepressants. Thus, this systematic review aimed to identify studies that investigated the association between genetic variants and side effects resulting from antidepressant treatment in individuals with MDD. Original articles indexed in the electronic databases Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE via PubMed, and Scopus were identified. A total of 55 studies were included in the review, and data regarding the outcomes of interest were extracted. Due to the exploratory nature of the review, a narrative/descriptive synthesis of the results was performed. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute's tools, tailored to the design of each study. Polymorphisms in 35 genes were statistically associated with the development of side effects. A subsequent Protein-Protein Interaction Network analysis helped elucidate the key biological pathways involved in antidepressant side effects, with a view toward exploring the potential application of pharmacogenetic markers in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry is an international and multidisciplinary journal which aims to ensure the rapid publication of authoritative reviews and research papers dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neuro-psychopharmacology and biological psychiatry. Issues of the journal are regularly devoted wholly in or in part to a topical subject.
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unless the pharmacological active molecular substrate and/or specific receptor binding properties of the extract compounds are elucidated.
