Abstract excerpt
Lamotrigine (LTG) is widely used in the treatment of children with epilepsy. Genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes may be an important source of interindividual variability in LTG metabolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of genetic polymorphisms of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 (UGT1A4) gene on LTG serum concentrations in children with...
