Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There is evidence from studies in rodents that P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpression is implicated in the causation of refractory epilepsy. Genetic variants in the human ABCB1 (MDR1) gene were shown to affect the expression levels of the transporter in various tissues and to be associated with refractory epilepsy. However, the effect of the genetic variants on the P-gp level in epileptogenic brain tissue...
