There is accumulating evidence to suggest that overexpression of efflux drug transporters at the blood-brain barrier, by reducing antiepileptic drug (AED) accumulation in the seizure foci, contributes to drug resistance in epilepsy. P-glycoprotein, encoded by the ABCB1 gene, is the most studied drug transporter. There are conflicting data as to whether the CC genotype of the ABCB1 3435C>T polymorphism is...
