Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is val158Met polymorphism in the catechol-O-methyltransferase ( COMT ) gene associated with tardive dyskinesia in schizophrenia?
Answer: These results suggest that the V158M SNP of the COMT gene is not associated with TD in schizophrenia. However, there is a tendency that the heterozygous genotype of the COMT gene polymorphism has a protective effect against TD. Further investigations are warranted to evaluate a molecular heterosis of this polymorphism in development of TD in a large sample of subjects.
Output (English): no
