Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Recent research has suggested that genetic factors may play an important role in the development of drug resistance in epilepsy. It is not clear which gene loci are responsible for the drug-resistant phenotype. Studying certain nuclear receptors may be helpful in predicting drug response, as they regulate drug transporting proteins and enzymes involved in their metabolism. This study...
