Carbamazepine (CBZ), a dibenzazepine, is a tricyclic compound used in the treatment of epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and psychiatric mood disorders [1]. Serious adverse events have been reported for CBZ including Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms [2, 3]. Other types of hypersensitivity reactions are also associated with CBZ including mild skin rashes, fever, eosinophilia, and cross-reactions to other anticonvulsants. Up to 80% of patients who have an idiopathic drug reaction to CBZ drugs will also have an adverse reaction to other anticonvulsants, further restricting treatment options [4]. In addition to adverse events, lack of efficacy can also be a problem, with as many as 30% of patients with epilepsy experiencing drugresistance [5, 6]. The mechanisms by which these events occur are not entirely clear although several candidate pharmacogenes have been associated with CBZ treatment responses. Current methods to individualize treatment involve therapeutic drug monitoring, the measurement of drug metabolites in patient samples posttreatment, and subsequent dose adjustment. Although this provides an accurate view of the drug-response phenotype, it still risks adverse events and cross-sensitivity. The ability to identify the patients that will benefit from CBZ, not suffer adverse events and define dose before treatment would be a highly valuable clinical tool. Here we present the current knowledge of CBZ pharmacogenomics (PGx) as a gene centered view of the pharmacokinetics of CBZ (Fig. 1) and collate the gene variants associated with CBZ responses.
