Aims: Presence of the null FS63TER allele of the rs1800169 polymorphism in the gene encoding the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) may increase the risk of schizophrenia. This study prospectively evaluated the CNTF rs1800169 genotype (G/G vs non-G/G) effects on response to iloperidone.
Patients & Methods: Iloperidone 24 mg/day was evaluated in a study of patients with schizophrenia. Efficacy measurements included Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total (PANSS-T), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Clinical, Global, Impression (CGI) scores. The step-down primary end point was the difference in PANSS-T scores based on CNTF rs1800169 G/G genotype.
Results: This study genotyped 417 patients (279 iloperidone and 138 placebo) for the rs1800169 polymorphism. Iloperidone significantly improved PANSS-T, PANSS positive subscale (PANSS-P), PANSS negative subscale (PANSS-N), BPRS, Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) and Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) scores versus placebo. G/G versus non-G/G patients had greater improvement with iloperidone versus placebo in PANSS, BPRS and CGI scores.
Conclusions: The relative treatment benefit of iloperidone compared with placebo in patients with schizophrenia is enhanced in patients homozygous G/G for the rs1800169 polymorphism.

Background: Heritability explains 45-82% of muscle mass and strength variation, yet polygenic models for muscle phenotypes in older women are scarce. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to (1) assess if total genotype predisposition score (GPSTOTAL) for a set of polymorphisms differed between older women with low and high muscle mass, and (2) utilise a data-driven GPS (GPSDD) to predict the variance in muscle size and strength-related phenotypes. Methods: In three-hundred 60- to 91-year-old Caucasian women (70.

There is a scarcity of studies that have investigated the role of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a range of muscle phenotypes in an elderly population. The present study investigated the possible association of 24 SNPs with skeletal muscle phenotypes in 307 elderly Caucasian women (aged 60-91 years, 66.3 ± 11.

Objective: To examine the association between polymorphisms of the ciliary neurotrophic factor gene (CNTF) and total and central adiposity markers in adolescents.
Study Design: This cross-sectional study involved 1057 European adolescents aged 12-18 years enrolled in the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence Cross-Sectional Study. Five polymorphisms of CNTF were genotyped, and the weight, height, waist and hip circumference, and triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness of the subjects were measured and recorded.

The age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength and function known as 'sarcopenia' is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, functional disability and mortality. While skeletal muscle properties are known to be highly heritable, evidence regarding the specific genes underpinning this heritability is currently inconclusive. This review aimed to identify genetic variants known to be associated with muscle phenotypes relevant to sarcopenia.

The human proteins ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and interleukin-6 (IL6) and their receptors share structural homology with leptin and its receptor. In addition, uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) has been shown to participate the regulation of leptin on food intake. All three proteins are active in the hypothalamus.
