Abstract excerpt
Over-expression of efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (PgP) encoded by ABCB1 gene has been implicated in poor responsive epilepsy. Several genetic variants have been shown to influence the expression levels of P-glycoprotein. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of ABCB1 polymorphisms: C1236T, G2677T/A and C3435T in determining drug response to first line antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) namely...
