Six molecular pathways were found to be significantly associated with weight change during the first 3 months of treatment after correction for multiple testing. Of those, CDC42 (R-HSA-9013148) participates in insulin synthesis and secretion and contributes to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and Rac Family Small GTPase 1 (R-HSA-9013149) is involved in metabolic regulation of pancreatic islet β-cells and in diabetes pathophysiology.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Pathways that are central in energy homeostasis may play a role to separate individuals with BD that will experience weight changes during treatment from those who will not. If confirmed, such finding can be instrumental in the identification of the correct preventive strategies and most correct treatment to increase compliance and efficacy in the treatment of BD.</p>","PeriodicalId":19763,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenetics and genomics","volume":" ","pages":"308-320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40434846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
