Sažetak
Seizure control with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) as well as susceptibility to adverse drug reactions varies among individuals with epilepsy. This interindividual variability is partly determined by genetic factors. However, genetic testing to predict the efficacy and toxicity of AEDs is limited and genetic variability is, as yet, largely unexplainable. Accordingly, genetic testing can only be advised in a very limited number of cases in clinical routine. Currently, by applying different methodologies, many trials have been undertaken to evaluate cost benefits of preventive pharmacogenetic analysis for patients. There is significant progress in sequencing technologies, and focus is on next- generation sequencing-based methods, like exome and genome sequencing. In this review, an overview of the current scientific knowledge considering the pharmacogenetics of AEDs is given.
