Abstract

Background and Objective

Despite the availability of several antiepileptic drugs, drug resistance remains one of the major challenges in epilepsy therapy. Genetic factors are known to play a significant role in the prognosis and treatment of epilepsy. The aim of this study was to determine the frequencies of alleles for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 genes in Turkish children with epilepsy, and to investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of these genes with multiple drug resistance in epilepsy patients.

Methods

We genotyped 132 epileptic patients (60 drug resistant and 72 drug responsive) and 55 healthy controls for six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. Genotype, allele, and haplotype frequencies were compared between groups.

Results

The frequencies of CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype and CYP2C9*3 allele, and the haplotype CCGG (CYP2C9*2 C>T, CYP2C9*3 A>C, and CYP2C19*2 G>A, CYP2C19* G>A) were significantly higher in drug-resistant versus -responsive patients.

Conclusion

Our results demonstrated the important role of the CYP2C9*3 allelic variant in preventing epilepsy patients from developing drug resistance. These data suggest that CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 SNPs and haplotypes may affect the response to antiepileptic drugs.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
