Gabapentinoids are substrate of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) for distribution across the blood-brain barrier. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of LAT1 rs4240803 genetic polymorphism on the clinical efficacy and tolerability of gabapentinoids in Pakistani patients with neuropathic pain. Three-hundred and ninety-two patients were recruited, genotyped for SNP rs4240803, and followed up for...
