To determine the effect of serotonin transporter polymorphism promoter region (5-HTTPLR) genotypic variation (low, intermediate, and high expression groups) on response to escitalopram treatment of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). The study used a forced titration, open label design, with genotype blind until study completion. Participants were children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 years of age with a confirmed ASD (Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s Disorder, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified). There was an interaction between genotype group and time on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist Irritability Subscale (primary outcome variable) (linear MMLE = −4.84, Z = −2.89, SE = 1.67, p = 0.004). Examination of baseline to last-observation carried forward scores revealed that a genotype grouping based on a previous study of platelet 5-HT uptake revealed less response in the genotype group that had S/S genotype for 5-HTTLPR and did not have a diplotype in intron 1 previously shown to be associated with increased platelet 5-HT uptake. This genotype-blind, prospective pharmacogenetic study found the group of subjects with associated with the lowest platelet 5-HT uptake from previous study had the smallest reduction in ABC-Irritability scores after open label treatment with escitalopram. Replication is necessary to confirm these findings. Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders have problems with anxiety, obsessions, compulsions, and insisting that things stay the same. When other interventions are not adequately helping the child deal with these difficulties, sometimes medication is considered a treatment option. Serotonin is inactivated when it is taken back into nerve cells by a protein called the serotonin transporter. Escitalopram blocks this protein. We wanted to know if variation in the gene that produces the protein target for escitalopram would be related to response to this treatment.
