1 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
To the Editors: The voltage gated sodium channel gene SCN1A can be regarded as a very attractive candidate gene for pharmacogenetic investigations in epilepsies. Work by the groups of Sisodiya and Goldstein has particularly implicated one functional polymorphism in this gene (IVS5N+5 G>A, rs3812718), which was suggested to influence the dosage requirements for the antiepileptic drugs carbamazepine and phenytoin...
