Most pharmacogenetic studies for antidepressants have been conducted on candidate genes from monoaminergic pathways. The relevance of monoaminergic systems for anxiety disorders and their treatment have been extensively covered in previous chapters.

In relation to the monoaminergic systems we observed that clobenpropit increased turnover rate of noradrenaline only in some brain regions (17), although histamine H3 heteroreceptors modulate the releases of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin [23-26]. Thus, it appears that the contribution of histamine H3 hetero receptors on the modulation of monoaminergic neurotransmitters may be minor, just being similar to the cholinergic system.
