Pharmacogenetics of Antidepressants: from Genetic Findings to Predictive Strategies

The constantly growing contribution of depressive disorders to the global disease statistics calls for a growth of treatment effectiveness and optimization. Antidepressants are the most frequently prescribed medicines for depressive disorders. However, development of a standardized pharmacotherapeut...
