Decreased activity of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (CYP2D6), which participates in hepatic metabolism of several frequently used neuroleptics and antidepressants, is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait through polymorphic CYP2D6 gene alleles. In eastern Orientals, a C --> T substitution at nucleotide 188 (Pro34Ser) is primarily responsible for decreased ability to metabolize CYP2D6 substrates. We therefore studied a possible association between neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) and the C188T mutation. We examined the frequency of the C188T mutation by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in 36 Japanese patients previously diagnosed with NMS and 107 neuroleptic-treated schizophrenic patients with no NMS history. The C188T allele frequency was 0.417 in NMS patients and 0.463 in patients without NMS. No significant allele or genotype associations were observed. We cannot conclude that low CYP2D6 activity genotype causes susceptibility to NMS in Japanese patients.
