Abstract excerpt
AIM: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of SNPs of major transporter and metabolizing enzyme genes on carbamazepine (CBZ) metabolism in Chinese patients with epilepsy. MATERIALS & METHODS: For 210 epileptic patients treated with CBZ as monotherapy, nine SNPs in candidate genes ABCB1, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, POR and EPHX1 were analyzed by PCR-RFLP or direct sequencing. Serum concentrations of CBZ,...
