Abstract
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a valuable tool for investigating the existence, prevalence, and spread of pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, in a given population. WBE, proposed as part of the SARS-CoV-2 surveillance strategy for monitoring virus circulation, may complement clinical data and contribute to reducing the spread of the disease through early detection. In developing countries such as Brazil, where clinical data are scarce, information obtained from wastewater monitoring can be crucial for designing public health interventions. In the United States, the country with the largest number of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases worldwide, WBE programs have begun to be carried out to investigate correlations with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical data and support health agencies in decision-making to prevent the spread of the disease. This systematic review aimed to assess the contribution of WBE to SARS-CoV-2 screening in Brazil and the United States and compare studies conducted in a developed and developing country. Studies in Brazil and the United States showed WBE to be an important epidemiological surveillance strategy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. WBE approaches are useful for early detection of COVID-19 outbreaks, estimation of clinical cases, and assessment of the effectiveness of vaccination program.

Abstract
Serotonin 2C receptors (5HT2C) are involved in serotonin-driven dynamic
equilibrium adjustments responsible for homeostatic stability in brain
structures that modulate behavior and emotions. Single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) from the serotonin 2C receptor gene (HTR2C) have been
associated with several neurological and mental disorders, including
abnormalities in cognitive and emotional processes. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the association between the rs6318 SNP of the HTR2C
gene and behavioral characteristics exhibited by children and adolescents based
on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/6-18) inventory. Eighty-five psychiatric
outpatients between 8 and 18 years of age underwent genotyping of the rs6318
SNP. The CBCL/6-18 scale was administered to their caregivers. The chi-squared
test was used to assess differences in the frequency of C and G alleles of the
rs6318 SNP relative to the grouped CBCL/6-18 scores; significance level was 5%.
The presence of the G allele of rs6318 was found to be associated with
characteristics of aggressive behavior and social problems, and aggressive
behavior was found to be associated with heterozygosis in females. These
findings contribute to the identification of mental and behavioral phenotypes
associated with gene expression.

Abstract
Background Dopamine is involved in several cerebral physiological processes, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) have been associated with numerous neurological and mental disorders, including those involving alterations in cognitive and emotional processes. Methods The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the SNPs c.957C > T (rs6277) and c.-585A > G (rs1799978) in the DRD2 gene and behavioral characteristics of children and adolescents based on an inventory of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Children and adolescents between 8 and 20 years old who were clinically followed-up were genotyped for the SNPs c.957C > T and c.-585A > G, and related to data of the CBCL/6–18 scale assessment performed with the help of caregivers. The chi-squared test was used to assess the differences in the frequencies of the C and T alleles in the polymorphism c.957C > T and of the A and G alleles in the polymorphism c.-585A > G with respect to the grouped CBCL scores at a significance level of 5%. Multiple logistic regression models were performed, to control whether sex and/or ethnicity could influence the results. Results Eighty-five patients were assessed overall, and the presence of the T allele (C/T and T/T) of DRD2 c.957C > T polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with the occurrence of defiant and oppositional problems and with attention and hyperactivity problems. There were no associations detected with polymorphism DRD2 c.-585A > G polymorphism. Both SNPs were in Hardy-Weinberg-equilibrium. Conclusions Although the findings of this study are preliminary, due to its small number of participants, the presence of T allele (C/T, T/T) in c.957C > T SNP was associated with difficulty in impulse control, self-control of emotions, and conduct adjustment, which can contribute to improving the identification of mental and behavioral phenotypes associated with gene expression.

Abstract
Objective. To identify the frequency of obesity and metabolic complications in child and adolescent users of risperidone. Potential associations with clinical parameters and SNPs of the HTR2C, DRD2, LEP, LEPR, MC4R, and CYP2D6 genes were analyzed. Methods. Samples from 120 risperidone users (8-20 years old) were collected and SNPs were analyzed, alongside assessment of chronological and bone ages, prescribed and weight-adjusted doses, use of other psychotropic drugs, waist circumference, BMI z-scores, blood pressure, HOMA-IR index, fasting levels of serum glucose, insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, transaminases, and leptin. Results. Thirty-two (26.7%) patients were overweight and 5 (4.2%) obese. Hypertension was recorded in 8 patients (6.7%), metabolic syndrome in 6 (5%), and increased waist circumference in 20 (16.7%). The HOMA-IR was high for 22 patients (18.3%), while total cholesterol and triglycerides were high in 20 (16.7%) and 41 (34.2%) patients, respectively. SNP associations were found for LEP, HTR2C, and CYP2D6 with BMI; CYP2D6 with blood pressure, ALT, and HOMA-IR; HTR2C and LEPR with leptin levels; MC4R and DRD2 with HOMA-IR; HTR2C with WC; and LEP with ALT. Conclusions. Although not higher than in the general pediatric population, a high frequency of patients was overweight/obese, with abnormalities in metabolic parameters and some pharmacogenetic associations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In children and adolescents treated with risperidone, hyperprolactinemia is a frequent complication that may have clinical repercussions. Several genes have been associated with this occurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of hyperprolactinemia in children and adolescents treated with risperidone, and its associations with clinical and pharmacological data and certain polymorphisms of the following genes: Dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2), 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor 2C (HTR2C), cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily D, polypeptide 6 (CYP2D6), leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), and scavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2). METHODS The study included patients using risperidone (8-20 years old) and healthy subjects not exposed to the medication. Psychopathological symptoms, doses, and duration of treatment with risperidone, sex, skin color, body mass index (BMI), use of other psychotropic drugs, and polymorphisms of DRD2, HTR2C, CYP2D6, LEP, LEPR, MC4R, and SCARB2 genes were evaluated. RESULTS There were 120 patients and 197 individuals not exposed to risperidone who were evaluated. Among patients, hyperprolactinemia was found in 79 (65.8%) cases, with no differences regarding sex, skin color, or being in monotherapy with risperidone (26.7% of total patients) or not. The level of prolactin was not correlated, either in case or control groups, with chronological age, bone age, prescribed dose of risperidone, weight-adjusted dose of risperidone, or BMI (p > 0.05), but was negatively correlated with the treatment duration (r = -0.352, p = 0.001 among cases; and r = -0.324, p = 0.039 among controls). There were significant differences in use of risperidone between patients and healthy subjects without the medication in the frequency of the polymorphisms of the DRD2, HTR2C, and LEP genes. Considering both sexes together and also specifically among females, the occurrence of hyperprolactinemia was higher in the presence of the C allele of the rs6318 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the HTR2C gene. CONCLUSIONS This group of children and adolescents with or without isolated use of risperidone presented with a high frequency of hyperprolactinemia, although asymptomatic, and associated, when considering only females or both sexes together, with being a carrier of the C allele of the rs6318 SNP of the HTR2C gene.
