There has been some preliminary testing methods that lead to positive results.

One study I remember reading showed that people with a certain varient of the 5-ht2a receptor gene fared much better on mirtazapine than SSRI's.

They had fewer side effects, faster onset, and overall a better resolution of depression.

With regards to the serotonin transporter, one researcher showed that people with the short-short varient did much worse on fluvoxamine than people with the longer version.

This type of research is promising because it might mean that one day, finding an appropriate medication is a lot easier.
