The possibility of personalized treatment (adapting therapies based on each patient's genetic profile) is one of the promising aspects of pharmacotherapy for affective disorders. Identifying the relationship between genotype and response to antidepressants, including both the therapeutic effect and the profile of adverse effects, may profoundly change medical practice. In this update article, we seek to review the foundations of this field of research called pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics applied to affective disorders, starting from the genetic foundations of affective disorders, moving on to current knowledge about genes associated with response to antidepressants, and pointing out possible reasons for the still inconsistent findings of studies in this field.
