abstract = {Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder that
affects around $0.5–1\%$ of the population. Research has
shown that early intervention increases the likelihood of
remission and reduces the severity of symptoms, as well as
attenuates the decline in social and overall
functioning.1Around $30\%$ of patients fail to respond
adequately to the usual antipsychotic medications, and are
classified as being treatment resistant. These patients can
be treated with the atypical antipsychotic clozapine, the
only evidence-based pharmacotherapy for treatment-resistant
schizophrenia. However, clozapine is associated with severe
adverse events and is thus only prescribed in patients who
have failed to respond to trials of two other
antipsychotics. This process may take many years. Since an
extended duration of untreated psychosis and lack of
efficacy for the initial treatment are however associated
with a poorer prognosis,6 identification of patients who
will eventually require clozapine is an important goal for
improving clinical outcome. Research to identify clinical
predictors of response prior to treatment initiation has
shown that premorbid social functioning (PSF) is among the
most reliable measures (for a review see Schennach et al.6).
Furthermore, reports of an association between a family
history of psychosis and an unfavourable treatment response7
suggest the influence of genetic factors. However, few
candidate gene studies have been conducted and their results
are inconsistent.},
