Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: High initial serum concentrations increase the risk of cutaneous adverse reactions. Genetic variants of the main metabolizing isoenzyme, uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 influence the elimination of lamotrigine (LTG). Our aim was to investigate the potential association between the two best studied variants, *2 (P24T) and *3 (L48V), and the occurrence non-bullous skin reactions from...
