Evidence continues to accumulate suggesting that genetic variation is at least partly responsible for interindividual differences in clinical response to essentially all classes of drugs, including those used to treat patients with epilepsy. Despite the recent emphasis placed upon the concept of pharmacogenetics, it has been difficult to assess accurately the relative importance of gene variation in antiepileptic drug (AED) therapy. To date, the main focus of AED pharmacogenetic research has been older drugs of established clinical value, particularly, phenytoin (PHT) and carbamazepine (CBZ). Other standard agents such as valproic acid (VPA), ethosuximide (ETX), barbiturates and benzodiazepines have not been systematically studied, nor have newer drugs such as gabapentin, lamotrigine (LTG), felbamate, tiagabine, topiramate (TPM), vigabatrin (VGB), oxcarbazepine (OXC), levetiracetam and zonisamide. This limitation in fundamental data prohibits broad application of genetic information in the clinical use of AEDs at the present time.
