Summary

The management of patients with epilepsy is focused on controlling seizures, avoiding treatment side effects, and restoring quality of life. However, about 30% of people are antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) resistance epilepsy after the adequate trials of two AEDs treatment. Genetic factors may contribute to the high interindividual variability in response or adverse effects (such as weight gain and altered lipid profiles) to AEDs. What's more, previous observational studies indicated that vitamin deficiency, such as vitamin B6, is common in patients with epilepsy due to epilepsy itself, AEDs use, or both. Therefore, investigators aim to (1) evaluate the impact of genetic variants on AED and multi-vitamins supplementation in epilepsy, and (2) establish the pharmacogenomics knowledge base of AED and multi-vitamins supplementation on clinical effectiveness in patients with epilepsy.
