Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: "Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)" could be an important explanation of drug resistance in epilepsy. The aim of this study was to investigate if genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SCN1A gene could influence the response to anti - epileptic drugs (AED) and if they could predispose to a drug resistant epilepsy in pediatric patients. METHODS: We investigated SNPs in exon and intronic regions of the...
