This risk may be influenced by polymorphisms in genes encoding cytochrome P450 enzymes (<i>CYP2C19</i> or <i>CYP2D6</i>), the serotonin transporter (<i>SLC6A4</i>), and the serotonin receptor 2A subtype (<i>HTR2A</i>). We explored whether gene-drug interactions influence the emergence of adverse events in depressed and/or anxious youth with a family history of BD. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> Children and adolescents aged 12-17 years with a first-degree relative with bipolar I disorder were treated with escitalopram and monitored for adverse effects, underwent pharmacogenetic testing, and provided serum escitalopram levels. Emergence of adverse events was determined by study clinicians, and symptoms were tracked using the Treatment-Emergent Activation and Suicidality Assessment Profile (TEASAP) and Pediatric Adverse Events Rating Scale.

However, response and tolerability to fluoxetine varies from child to child, which may in part, be a result of interindividual differences in fluoxetine metabolism. In this study, we examined whether genotype-predicted activity scores of cytochrome P450 enzymes were associated with patient-reported symptom improvement and side effects in children and adolescents treated with fluoxetine. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Ninety children and adolescents aged 7-18 with a MDD or OCD diagnosis and a history of fluoxetine treatment were recruited from Western Canada. For each participant, fluoxetine dose and duration information were collected, as well as questions about adherence, side effects, and symptom improvement. DNA was extracted from a saliva sample and genotyped for <i>CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP3A4,</i> and <i>CYP3A5</i>.
