Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The ABCB1 haplotype combinations have been demonstrated to be associated with epilepsy treatment outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate whether ABCB1 haplotype combinations would affect P-glycoprotein (Pgp) function and impact the clinical responses of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). METHODS AND RESULTS: Transport of substrate rhodamine 123 and calcein-AM by human Pgp carrying 12 haplotype...
