Methods and compositions for the treatment of psychotic disorders through the identification of the SULT4A1-1 haplotype
Methods and compositions relate to genetic markers of psychotic disorders, e.g., schizophrenia (SZ), are provided. For example, in certain aspects methods for determinations of a SULT4A1-1 haplotype are described. Furthermore, the invention provides methods and compositions involving treatment of psychotic disorders using the haplotype status.
1. A method for treating a human subject having the potential to discontinue treatment with olanzapine due to a treatment-emergent adverse event, comprising:
(a) selecting a subject that has been determined to have a SULT4A1-1 haplotype, wherein the SULT4A1 1 haplotype is defined as a haplotype comprising a C allele at rs763120, a combination of an A allele at rs2285162 and a G allele at rs2285167, or the combination of a T allele at rs2285166 and G allele at rs2285167, and treating the subject that has the SULT4A1-1 haplotype with olanzapine, wherein if the human subject comprises the SULT4A1-1 haplotype the subject is more likely to exhibit a propensity to continue treatment with olanzapine; or
(b) selecting a subject that has been determined not to have the SULT4A1-1 haplotype and treating the subject that does not have the SULT4A1-1 with an anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine, wherein if the subject does not comprise the SULT4A1-1 haplotype the subject is more likely to exhibit a propensity to discontinue treatment due to a treatment-emergent adverse event when treated with olanzapine.
2. A method for treating a human subject having the potential to experience a treatment-emergent adverse event when treated with olanzapine, comprising:
(a) selecting a subject that has been determined not to have a SULT4A1-1 haplotype, wherein the SULT4A1-1 haplotype is defined as a haplotype comprising a C allele at rs763120, a combination of an A allele at rs2285162 and a G allele at rs2285167, or the combination of a T allele at rs2285166 and G allele at rs2285167, wherein the human subject that has the SULT4A1-1 haplotype is more likely to experience a treatment-emergent adverse event when treated with olanzapine, or
(b) selecting a subject that has been determined to have the SULT4A1-1 haplotype, wherein the subject that has the SULT4A1-1 haplotype is not more likely to experience a treatment-emergent adverse event when treated with olanzapine, and
selecting a pharmacotherapeutic treatment plan based on the SULT4A1-1 haplotype, and treating the subject with the selected pharmacotherapeutic treatment.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subject comprises the SULT4A1-1 haplotype and the subject is treated with olanzapine.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subject does not comprise the SULT4A1-1 haplotype and the subject is treated with an anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is risperidone.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is ziprasidone.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is perphenzazine.
8. A method for treating a human subject having or suspected of having schizophrenia comprising:
(a) selecting a subject that has been determined to have a SULT4A1-1 haplotype, defined as a haplotype comprising a C allele at rs763120, a combination of an A allele at rs2285162 and a G allele at rs2285167, or the combination of a T allele at rs2285166 and G allele at rs2285167, and treating the subject that has the SULT4A1-1 haplotype with olanzapine; or
(b) selecting a subject that has been determined not to have the SULT4A1-1 haplotype and treating the subject that does not have the SULT4A1-1 with an anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the subject comprises the SULT4A1-1 haplotype and the subject is treated with olanzapine.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the subject does not comprise the SULT4A1-1 haplotype and the subject is treated with an anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is risperidone.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is quetiapine.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is ziprasidone.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is perphenzazine.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is risperidone.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is ziprasidone.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anti-psychotic treatment other than olanzapine is perphenzazine.
