Abstract
Objective: P-glycoprotein plays a role in drug resistance of epileptic patients by limiting gastrointestinal absorption and brain access to antiseizure medications. This study aimed to evaluate the association between ABCB1 polymorphisms and drug resistance in epileptic pediatric patients.
Methods: Three hundred seventy-seven epileptic pediatric patients were treated with antiseizure medications and subsequently divided into the drug-responsive group (n = 256, 68%) and drug-resistant group (n = 121, 32%). The genomic DNA of patients in the different groups was extracted, followed by the determination of the ABCB1 gene polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction-fluorescence staining in situ hybridization.
Results: Drug-resistant patients significantly exhibited a combined generalized and focal onset than drug-responsive patients (χ2 = 12.278, P < 0.001). The TT (χ2 = 5.776, P = 0.016) genotypes of G2677T and CT (χ2 = 6.165, P = 0.013) and TT (χ2 = 11.121, P = 0.001) genotypes of C3435T were significantly more frequent in drug-resistant patients than drug-responsive patients. Similarly, the GT-CT diplotype was significantly more frequent in drug-resistant patients than in drug-responsive patients.
Conclusion: Our study findings suggest that the ABCB1 G2677T and C3435T polymorphisms are significantly associated with drug resistance in epileptic patients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
