}}[[rs12720067]] is a SNP in the [[ABCB1]] gene (also known as the MDR1 gene), which encodes a protein that transports certain molecules across the blood-brain barrier. SNPs in [[ABCB1]] may thus influence the intracerebral concentrations of certain drugs and thus their efficacy or potential for adverse side effects. [[rs12720067]] is one of 9 SNPs found within a tight linkage block (r<sup>2</sup> >= 0.8 ) such that the minor allele at any one of them predicts (with ~80%+ accuracy) that the other SNPs will also be the minor allele. The list of the 9 SNPs is shown below.

When treated for [[depression]] with substrates of the protein encoded by [[ABCB1]], carriers of one or two minor alleles at these [[ABCB1]] SNPs have been reported to respond better than non-carriers. The [[antidepressant]] drugs that are known to be substrates include [[citalopram]], [[paroxetine]], [[amitriptyline]], and [[venlafaxine]]. The relative odds of better response for [[rs12720067]](G) carriers is 7.72 (CI: 2.8-21.3, p=0.000065) based on a study of ~400 primarily Caucasian patients.{{doi|10.1016/j.neuron.2007.11.017}}
