Review of pharmacogenetics of antiseizure medications: focusing on genetic variants of mechanistic targets

Abstract excerpt

Antiseizure medications (ASMs) play a central role in seizure management, however, unpredictability in the response to treatment persists, even among patients with similar seizure manifestations and clinical backgrounds. An objective biomarker capable of reliably predicting the response to ASMs would profoundly impact epilepsy treatment. Presently, clinicians rely on a trial-and-error approach when selecting...
