OBJECTIVE: Genetic variants have yet to be identified as reliable predictors of antipsychotic dosage. The purpose of this study is to quantify significant genetic risk variants prioritized from the Psychiatric GWAS Consortium (PGC2) study for schizophrenia as a polygenic score to test our hypothesis that it may represent symptom severity in patients and therefore predict antipsychotic dosage.
METHODS: Antipsychotic medication and dosage were collected in our sample of 83 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders of a homogeneous European background. Antipsychotic dosage was standardized according to the Product Monograph (PM%), chlorpromazine equivalents (CPZe), and Defined Daily Dose (DDD). We calculated polygenic risk scores (PRS) for the significant risk loci identified from the PGC2 GWAS to predict dosage using a linear regression model.
RESULTS: In our analysis, the PRS showed no significant association with PM%, CPZe, and DDD dosage. Considering symptom severity and overall functioning, our PRS was similarly not significantly associated with Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores.
DISCUSSION: Our results do not provide evidence for a polygenic inheritance of schizophrenia that influences levels of antipsychotic dosage. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first studies of its kind to use the PRS from the PGC2 significant risk variants to predict a clinically relevant phenotype. The PRS offers a novel approach to analyzing the genetic liability for many clinically relevant phenotypes in schizophrenia.
